VMware announced it has acquired NeoAccel, a California-based provider of computer network security products. The acquisition comes as a part of VMware’s strategy to expand and strengthen its offerings portfolio, and NeoAccel’s solutions – particularly the SSL VPN-Plus product line – support this agenda.
“NeoAccel’s solutions complement this strategy and offer several interesting integration opportunities. NeoAccel’s SSL VPN-Plus will add user VPN technology, which enables secure, high-performance access to cloud environments.”
The acquisition of NeoAccel and its future integration with VMware’s product portfolio is not the only piece of virtualization news for the company lately. Virginia-based social communications company Bitrix announced the Bitrix Virtual Appliance 2.0, the first ready-to-use solution designed to run social collaboration and e-commerce applications in the most commonly used virtualization platforms including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Parallels Virtuozzo and Amazon EC2.
Bitrix Virtual Appliance 2.0 can reportedly and consequently reduce up to 50% of application deployment and management costs. The open-source solution provides greater availability and shorter disaster recovery time, a secure sandbox for running apps, is compatible with free virtualization tools including VMware Player etc.
