Shavlik announced that Shavlik Protect has won the Gold Award in the “Security” category of the “Best of VMworld 2016” awards. These awards honour the most innovative new products in the server virtualisation, end-user computing and cloud markets.
Shavlik helps organisations patch everything from VMware hypervisors to Microsoft Windows to the Mac OS, including the third-party applications running on each. Patching virtual environments is a great strength of Shavlik Protect, which includes capabilities such as:
• Online and offline virtual machine patching
• Virtual machine template patching
• Snapshotting of critical assets for superior rollback
• VMware vCenter integration
• VMware ESXi Hypervisor patching
In addition, Protect offers an agentless option that is particularly well-suited to the datacentre. This option allows organisations to assess and deploy patches, while minimising impact to server workloads. This option also ensures that new virtual systems are never missed.
The Best of VMworld awards were chosen by a panel of independent expert judges, composed of editors of TechTarget’s SearchServerVirtualization.com, who evaluated 145 nominated products on display at VMworld 2016. Each product was evaluated for innovation, value, performance, reliability and ease of use. The security category acknowledges solutions that follow security best practices and monitor and protect cloud workloads, hypervisors, guest operating systems and virtual networks.
