Key Benefits
- Be proactive in securing the move to hybrid next-generation data centers (NGDCs)
Say “yes” to data center virtualization, upgrades, and consolidation projects requiring security measures for physical/virtual/cloud computing (PVC) infrastructures. Build data center security directly into the design architecture; apply security controls optimized for hybrid, decentralized NGDCs; and implement a unified management and reporting environment across your infrastructure. - Safely roll out a virtual data center infrastructure
Get protection against fast-changing threats while safely unlocking the power of virtualized applications and servers through improved performance and resource utilization. Holistically monitor and enforce agile intrusion prevention and access control policies to optimally secure data center workloads. - Assure data center integrity through threat protection assessment
Get real-time predictive protection with McAfee Global Threat Intelligence. It guards your data center across all key threat vectors — file, web, message and network — through McAfee’s product portfolio to pinpoint critical, at-risk assets. - Align data center security measures to meet the modular, hybrid, and ubiquitous protection needs of NGDCs
Provide security controls optimized for the modular components of NGDCs: servers, storage, data, and networks. These comprehensive security measures work within a unified management environment spanning physical, virtual, and cloud computing infrastructures. - Implement comprehensive security strategies
From risk assessment to the creation of trust zones extending to the public cloud, McAfee helps secure your data, database workloads, virtual desktop infrastructure, and networks through comprehensive security controls.
