NetClarity and Avocent Launch Data Center Security and IT Compliance Offering
Avocent DSView 3 Software now enabled with proactive network security and IT compliance plug-in for Data Center managers -- Gather.com Beta tests in Data Center.
Bedford, MA and INTEROP, Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 21, 2007 -- NetClarity, Inc., an award winning Vulnerability Management and Intrusion Prevention company, today announced that it has teamed up with Avocent® Corporation (NASDAQ: AVCT), a leading provider of network management solutions with a new offering for Data Center Security and IT Compliance. NetClarity Auditor integration will be available in early July for the Avocent DSView® 3 software to enable quick and easy alerting, blocking and correcting of Data Center Security and IT related regulatory compliance issues.
According to PrivacyRights.org, there have been over 110,000,000 records lost or stolen from Networks and Data Centers, worldwide. As a result, Data Center managers face serious Security and IT Compliance issues. Recently, in a survey funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, USCERT discovered that 95% of these network security breaches are a direct result of an exploit against a known vulnerability. Research by MITRE shows that properly deployed Vulnerability Management solutions dramatically reduce risk of network downtime, data breaches, data leakage and regulatory compliance issues.
"Integrating with Avocent's DSView 3 software will allow customers to enjoy a faster, easier way to manage Data Center Security and IT Compliance. Now, DSView 3 software can manage the award winning Auditor Enterprise and Auditor Branch appliances with a few clicks of the mouse, helping Data Center managers keep a closer eye on their critical assets to increase uptime, protect against data leakage and document compliance," said Gil Roeder, Chairman & CEO, NetClarity, Inc. "We look forward to working with Avocent for a successful partnership, and plan to work jointly to develop programs that will help launch our unique, combined offering."
"We are enthusiastic about integration and bundling opportunities between our DSView 3 management software and the NetClarity security and compliance offerings for Data Center managers. We strive to lessen the complexity of IT management, and our customers value being able to solve critical security and compliance issues in the same system they use to manage their data center equipment," said Steve Geffin, VP Product Management, Avocent Corporation. "Our decision to join forces with NetClarity was due to their leading reputation for excellence in Vulnerability Management and Intrusion Prevention."
