Secure remote control for conventional and virtual desktops

Many organizations have a mix of conventional desktops, sessions virtualized with Citrix / Terminal Services, and fully virtualized desktops. A single remote control platform for user support is going to be key to providing an efficient helpdesk. Protection of user privacy must be balanced by the need for privileged access.

This report will help provide a basic set of headings under which to evaluate any potential remote control choice, and highlights a class of remote control product in which the customer retains full control over the way in which screen and keystroke data is transmitted. This is fundamentally differentiated from products and services in which your data is routed through third party servers.

Next gen security for virtualised datacentres

As more and more corporations virtualize their infrastructures, security best practices must not be overlooked. The adoption of legacy solutions has proven inefficient due to the architectural differences between physical and virtual environments. Specifically, traditional software solutions have not passed the performance test when running on virtual machines.

Strengthened by the vShield Endpoint components, Bitdefender implements centralized scanning within a hardened Linux-based Security Virtual Appliance. While unobtrusively defending virtual machines with the lightweight Silent Agent, the solution goes beyond VMware's area of protection by ensuring process and memory scan capabilities. Additionally, it covers an extended range of operating platforms, including Windows, Unix and Solaris, in environments powered by any virtualization technology.

Implementing global e-invoicing with guaranteed legal certainty

Globalization has spurned tremendous opportunities and challenges. It is no surprise Steve Jobs chose Tim Cook to succeed him in leading Apple. Tim Cook built Apple’s supply chain into what became one of the company’s greatest strategic advantages. Brands like Johnson and Johnson, ABB, Dell and Microsoft to name a few all view supply chain management as nothing less than vital to their ability to innovate and dominate global markets.

Successful supply chain management requires automation. Successful automation requires addressing what we believe is the last mile of global electronic invoicing: local tax compliance. This white paper explains the role local tax compliance plays in successful supply chain management and e-business initiatives more broadly and how leading global brands and governments are addressing this need.

Rethinking backup and recovery in the modern data center

Today’s businesses live in a dynamic, always-on, constantly changing environment, with complex, distributed big data. To manage these challenges, a modern backup and recovery solution must:

- Deliver superior business resiliency to meet mission-critical recovery SLAs across the entire enterprise

- Achieve data source and backup target diversity and scale, which enables centralized protection of the entire enterprise ecosystem - virtual or physical, application, or storage infrastructure

- Provide Adaptive Intelligence to foresee, predict, and adapt backup priorities to dynamically changing data, applications, and business requirements

The HP Adaptive Backup and Recovery (ABR) approach combines intelligence, operational analytics, and automation to enable efficient, data-driven IT organizations, resulting in better backup and recovery decisions such as tuning the right level of protection for diverse data sets and applications. ABR is designed for today’s dynamic environments, delivering fully automated, intelligent, and policy-driven protection for mission critical applications.
