The availability of its award-winning Secerno.SQL database activity monitoring and blocking solution as a virtualized appliance on the VMware platform has been announced by the technology leader in database security, Secerno (http://www.secerno.com ). Allowing enterprises the same database protection afforded by hardware yet with the utilization, management and cost benefits of a virtualized application, this marks the first availability of its appliance-based database protection in a virtualized environment.

Powered by its patent-pending SynoptiQ technology, Secerno's decision to add a virtualized database protection product, is a response to increased customer demand and a growing trend by organizations to consider virtual environments as part of their infrastructure. Providing database security in a virtual environment gives organizations greater resource utilization, faster deployment times and the flexibility to have capability and capacity on-demand. Organizations, with this offering, can choose to deploy Secerno hardware appliances or take the benefits of VMware deployments without any impact to performance or manageability.

Enabling organizations to cost effectively protect a large number of databases, VMware will allow Secerno to offer full support for virtualized environments as well as roll-out protection through virtual appliances. Enterprises will still have the full benefits of Secerno.SQL and will be able to deploy database protection quickly and manage all databases from a central point. ...
