Align your information infrastructure—from
storage and backup, to management, security,
and disaster recovery—to accelerate the value
of VMware.

A private cloud is a dynamic, flexible, IT infrastructure providing IT services on
demand. It further has the ability to leverage external cloud service provider
resources as an extension of your cloud resources. What’s more, you define
your information’s service levels—whether in the internal cloud or in the
exter-nal cloud—while maintaining control and security of your computing assets.
In short, your organization “owns” the applications and data regardless of the
location or ownership of the physical infrastructure.
More important, since your mix of resources can change moment to moment,
dynamic workload allocation resources are enabled when they are needed and
where they are needed. Infrastructure can now be offered as a service enabling
greater efficiency, control, and more choices than ever before.
The first step in your journey to the private cloud vision is clearly to virtualize
as much as possible, as fast as possible. EMC and VMware
®work closely
together to ensure you have the solutions and services necessary to accelerate
your data center virtualization projects and your journey to the private cloud.

With a large multi-national IT operation to run, EMC faces many of the same IT issues as our customers. To solve these challenges, we use VMware virtualization technology together with our own information infrastructure.
For example, power-hungry servers and application growth were straining our IT infrastructure and our core data center was nearing capacity. We needed a $30M upgrade to add more power and cooling capacity. To avoid these major capital costs, significant storage consolidation and server virtualization projects have been initiated to extend the data center’s useful life.
To date, we’ve benefited by:
• Reducing data center space, power, and cooling by $8M (over five years) • Avoiding $2M in infrastructure costs • Decreasing CO2 by 59,821,624 lbs • Delaying a $30M data center upgrade by
four years
• Cutting tape expenses from $1M/yr to $25K/yr
• Eliminating half the number of storage systems while tripling capacity
Unified shared storage: a key requirement for

Secure your virtual environment with
solutions from RSA and VMware
In virtual environments, information is particularly fluid and easily shared. While this has facilitated greater operational flexibility and efficiencies and enabled companies to greatly improve responsive-ness to busiresponsive-ness needs, it has also raised concerns about data security—especially in sensitive areas such as the desktop or in messaging environments.
To help you maximize the advantages of virtualization anywhere in your data center without compro-mising security or compliance, RSA®, The Security Division of EMC is building serveral security solu-tions for VMware virtualization. Based on an information-centric approach to security, these solusolu-tions will help you significantly reduce your security risks from desktop to server and beyond.
Collaboration between RSA and VMware has resulted in the ongoing integration of RSA’s industry-leading security solutions such as RSA enVision®, RSA Authentication Manager (SecurID®), and RSA Data Loss Prevention (DLP) with VMware technologies to support authentication, data loss preven-tion, and compliance across virtualized environments.
EMC Consulting’s RSA Professional Services also offers the Security Assessment for Virtualized Envi-ronments, a comprehensive consulting engagement designed to provide the expertise and best prac-tices to protect identities, data, and systems across your entire virtualized infrastructure.
Joint development of solutions to support future advanced security functions for VMware vSphere 4 environments are underway, and delve deeper into data loss prevention, security information and event management, and strong authentication.
How does RSA help?
RSA enVision is RSA’s 3-in-1 Security Information and Event Management platform. RSA enVision collects and analyzes log data from across the physical and virtual environment, including VMware ESX, VMware vCenter, and VMware View Manager. RSA enVision reduces the cost of virtualization by lowering the risk of security breach or downtime and reducing the manual effort needed to monitor a virtual environment. RSA enVision helps organizations:
• Increase security. RSA enVision can alert when activities that are out of compliance with policy occur, like the cloning or moving of sensitive virtual machines to unauthorized locations. RSA enVision can also provide visibility into the activity of users from the application layer right down to the virtualization layer.
• Streamline compliance. RSA enVision can monitor and report on all activities across the IT stack, including the creation, cloning, and moving of virtual machines, as well as activities at the guest OS or application layer. RSA enVision comes with pre-canned reports that map to common regulations like PCI, as well as common control frameworks like ISO-17799 and COBIT.
• Improve network operations. Because RSA enVision captures all activity data in the IT environment, it can be an invaluable tool in alerting to failures in the IT environment—like unexpected VM resets, or VMs consuming too much of a resource, or troubleshooting of a root cause.
RSA Data Loss Prevention (DLP) monitors and controls the usage of sensitive data on virtual desktops to enforce security policy.
RSA SecurID’s two-factor authentication validates the identity of users and administrators before allowing them access to virtual desktops and VMware administrative interfaces.
Trust RSA and VMware to address your security and compliance issues
• Recognize the security implications of imple-menting virtual technologies and assess the security posture of a virtualization deploy-ment through consulting.
