At the end of 2010 the Symantec corporation presented the updated solutions in the field of security having the improved characteristics of performance and providing optimal data storage in virtual environments. Solutions of Symantec for protection of endpoints and e-mail and also the solution on management of endpoints give the chance to the enterprises to reduce costs and at the same time to simplify support of virtual environments by implementation of uniform model of work, licensing and management both in physical, and in virtual infrastructures. New solutions from Symantec are adapted for effective work with all popular hypervisors, says the company.

The strategy of Symantec on security of the virtualized resources is based on providing to clients "Security of the Uniform Copy of Data" (Single Instance Security) which is directed to security blanket of data, including from such attacks from which a traditional anti-virus software is not able to protect, emphasized in the company. "Security of the Uniform Copy of Data" marks transition of Symantec from multicopy protection when each user works with the separate copy of determinations of the malware and the scanning subsystems, to "cloud" protection when users share a uniform copy of appropriate technologies of protection. As a result, the security level of data will be raised, work is simplified and system performance, providing protection of the virtual environments available online and in a standalone mode is increased, noted in Symantec.

As explained in Symantec, the company works on creation of technologies of the next generation which use the reputation, behavioural and context information for implementation of new methods of protection using a uniform copy of data. Use of this approach is intended to maximize efficiency, to eliminate unnecessary, rescanning and updates of content. In the future, Symantec will continue to provide to clients the tools providing the proper security level for expansion of the sphere of use of virtual environments. For example, the technologies of protection based on reputation raise the security level of systems, considering the reputation of files determined by users of products of Symantec that, in turn, will allow to increase performance and efficiency of protection of the important systems emphasized in the company. Use of this new technology will give the chance to reduce the impact of anti-virus scanning on performance of systems on 90% as only potentially unsafe files will be scanned, claim in Symantec. This technology gives the chance of Symantec to collect anonymous information on features of use of software of more than 100 million clients of Symantec and also to provide protection against the uzkorasprostranenny, changing threats which, otherwise, would not be covered by traditional solutions in the field of security at all.

The clients using the solution for protection of endpoints of Symantec Endpoint Protection can use already today functions which help to provide protection of virtual environments with simultaneous support of high performance and stability of a system. For example, one of technologies as a part of Symantec Endpoint Protection is the so-called technology of "alignment of resources" which minimizes the impact of scanning of all system on Wednesdays with a large number of users, explained in the company.

Besides, solutions of Symantec for management of endpoints manage virtual environments and help to support stable work of the most important applications, underlined in the company. Symantec gives opportunities for detection, providing access, management and monitoring of client and server infrastructures on different physical and virtual platforms.
