WatchGuard Technologies Extends Real-Time Network Security Visibility Tool to Microsoft’s Hyper-V Platform
January 2014 by Marc Jacob
WatchGuard® Technologies has enhanced its real-time network security visibility solution, WatchGuard Dimension™, to support Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtualisation platform, in addition to VMware. WatchGuard has also increased Dimension’s scalability, availability and visibility.
UK-based WatchGuard channel partner Rockford IT is seeing growing demand for Dimension. “Our customers want to know what’s going on in their networks in real–time and WatchGuard Dimension provides this visibility and automatically generates executive reports to deliver an immediate snapshot of the top users, threats and compliance issues,” said Tom Sykes, Chairman at Rockford. “This latest addition of Hyper-V and other new features make Dimension an even more valuable tool and what’s more, it’s free for all WatchGuard XTM customers.”
WatchGuard Dimension is delivered as a free virtual appliance for XTM customers, which simplifies set up. The latest update includes faster access and increased scalability with external and shared database support. It also improves visibility with dynamic hostname resolution, and native language support for key countries will be available toward the end of Q1.
