FoxT Announces Support for VMware ESX 3.5 on BoKS Access Control for Servers
Mountain View, CA - June 30, 2008 - Fox Technologies, Incorporated, (FoxT), a leading provider of comprehensive Enterprise Access Control Management solutions, today announced the extension of BoKS Access Control for Servers to include qualified support for the VMware ESX 3.5 virtual server platform. The addition of VMware ESX 3.5 further extends FoxT's support for virtual platforms including IBM virtual I/O, IBM z-Series mainframes, Xen Virtualization, VMware ESX 2.5 and 3.0, and Solaris Zones.
"We continue to extend both the virtual and non-virtual platforms supported by BoKS Access Control for Servers so that organizations can centralize the management of user populations across their enterprise servers," reported Per Eliasson, VP of Engineering at FoxT. "Adding support for VMware ESX 3.5 enables organizations to maintain control while taking advantage of the many business benefits of server virtualization."
Using BoKS Access Control for Servers, organizations can centrally configure, administer, and enforce their security policies and user accounts across diverse UNIX, Linux, Virtual, and Windows domains. Other capabilities related to access control management for virtual servers include:
- Enforce common access and authentication policies across virtual and non-virtual servers
- Centrally manage user populations on virtual servers from the same BoKS administration console
- Automatically provision users to virtual machines by adding the machines to managed host groups
- Dynamically register and de-register the hosts for virtual machines that are used sporadically, and automatically update user passwords
- Centrally scan virtual machines for vulnerabilities using BoKS integrity checking
- Centrally monitor configurable files across the network for changes, including files residing on virtual machines
- Centrally log user access to virtual machines for consolidated IT audit reporting
"Virtualization is quickly becoming a key part of the enterprise server infrastructure and organizations are having to work fast to find a way to address the lack of structured controls over user accounts that are harbored on virtual machines, said Subhash Tantry, CEO at FoxT. "As a leader in enterprise access controls management, we want to ensure that organizations can take advantage of technology advances, without jeopardizing the control they need to have over their IT environments."
