Micro has partnered with Wipro
Technologies to offer next-generation virtualization security
solutions for dynamic datacenters. The goal of the partnership is to
develop solutions that help secure public and private cloud computing
environments that are being increasingly challenged to deliver
operational cost savings, while still ensuring the security and
compliance of critical IT assets.

As part of this strategic agreement,
Wipro and Trend Micro are also jointly building Centers of Excellence
to address the challenging data protection, security and compliance
needs of today's virtualized datacenters, as well as the growing
market demand for server consolidation. Mutual customers will be able
to fully leverage the benefits of Trend Micro Enterprise Security
offerings through Wipro's accelerated and cost-effective approach for
deployment. With access to combined Wipro and Trend Micro expertise
at these Centers of Excellence around the globe, including the USA,
UK, Australia and Japan, enterprises will be able to better focus on
their core business competencies, while letting industry leaders help
them effectively implement innovative security solutions that reduce
risks and costs.

and
Trend Micro will provide joint virtualized datacenter security,
as well as datacenter consolidation solutions using next-generation
security products from Trend Micro and other mutual partners.
This initiative will align with current services from Wipro such as
data security, managed security monitoring, managed network and host
infrastructure security operations, and managed unified threat and
vulnerability managed services. Under the agreement, Wipro becomes a
global reseller of Trend Micro products that encompass threat
management, Web, messaging, server and endpoint security. “By
working closely with Trend Micro, we will be better able to address
the operational security requirements of our datacenter customers,
and meet their business demands for efficiency and cost savings,”
said Prasenjit Saha, VP and Global Head-Enterprise Security
Solutions, Wipro. He further added, “Wipro's leadership in
providing end-to-end security services combined with Trend Micro's
advanced host and virtualization security solutions for datacenter
security requirements will help customers to better protect their
critical data, as well as ensure compliance with PCI and other
regulations.”

“Most
datacenters are employing virtualization technology these days. But
without a virtualization security strategy, these dynamic datacenters
are less secure than their physical counterparts,” said Wael
Mohamed, Senior VP-Business Development, Trend Micro. “We have
entered into a strategic relationship with Wipro for their global
expertise in technology services. This agreement allows us to create
'security that fits', customizable, scalable solutions that enable
enterprises to protect confidential data and take advantage of the
benefits of virtualization and cloud computing without compromising
the security of their dynamic datacenters,” he added. “We are
delighted to join hands with Wipro. Wipro is committed to providing
professional services expertise for deploying Trend Micro solutions.
This is important for customer deployments where neither Trend Micro
nor the reseller has the resources available. We believe our
association with Wipro will add great value to our customers,”
