VMworld TV Interview and Demo - Palo Alto Networks and VMware NSX
Palo Alto Networks and VMware today announced a partnership backed by a new jointly-developed solution. The integrated solution will enable customers to use the VMware NSX network virtualization platform to automate provisioning and distribution of Palo Alto Networks next-generation network security in their software-defined data centers.
Security provisioning and change management is an operational challenge for today's dynamic cloud data center environments. Network security configuration and policy assignment can be slow, rigid and lag behind the pace and ease of application provisioning. At the same time, a next-generation security platform -- where security policies are tied to applications, users and data -- is a growing requirement for an effective cybersecurity strategy.
Recognizing these changing requirements, Palo Alto Networks and VMware have partnered to deliver an integrated solution that combines the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series virtualized next-generation security platform with the VMware NSX network virtualization platform. With this joint solution, customers will be able to unify next-generation network security across their physical and virtual environments with a single point of management.
The combined solution will enable customers to use the network services insertion capabilities of VMware NSX with Palo Alto Networks' next-generation security technologies to easily deploy, move, scale and protect applications in their software-defined data centers. Customers will realize more agility and efficiency through centralized policy management and implementation.

VMworld TV - Interview with Rich Petersen about SanDisk FlashSoft for VMware vSphere
SanDisk FlashSoft software for VMware vSphere enables a solid-state device (SSD) to function as a cache for frequently accessed data ("hot data") in a server. FlashSoft software is installed as an ESXi kernel module within the vSphere operating system.
By caching the hot data on a high-speed SSD installed on the server, access times are reduced and applications spend less time waiting for data. FlashSoft is non-intrusive. FlashSoft works with any storage subsystem and requires no change to storage management, backup, or compliance polices.
FlashSoft is installed in the host OS and does not use agents in the guest OS for any guest OS can take advantage of acceleration. FlashSoft supports any guest OS. FlashSoft is installed in the host OS and does not use agents in the guest OS for any guest OS can take advantage of acceleration.

Video - Bitdefender Security for Virtualized Environments
Bitdefender Security for Virtualized Environments (SVE) is the first all- encompassing security solution for virtualized datacenters, specifically architected for the dynamic datacenters of today. SVE protects any number of virtualized desktops and servers running on Windows and Linux systems. As opposed to traditional antimalware, Bitdefender centralizes all the scanning and update processes on a virtual appliance called Security Server, which helps deduplicate critical resources and diminish I/O activity on the physical host.

Tintri's CTO Kieran Harty explains VM-Aware storage architecture
Kieran Harty explains the company's new approach to data management for the software-defined data center. Tintri VMstore provides Zero Management Storage for virtualization and cloud. Tintri VMstore was built from the ground up based on the industry's first and leading VM-Aware Storage architecture to deliver always-optimized storage for dynamic virtual environments. Tintri VMstore was created with virtual machines (VMs) in mind. It uses and understands VMs and virtual disks in place of such traditional storage abstractions as volumes and LUNs.
