McAfee and Citrix Systems announced a strategic partnership to make virtual
desktop security simpler and more scalable for large enterprise deployments. As
part of the solution, Citrix plans to collaborate with McAfee to develop
security solutions for VDI-based virtual desktops that centralize all virus
scanning and virus signature file updates, off-loading the processing intensive
actions from the individual virtual machines. This goal of this solution is to
enhance the security and scalability of virtual desktop deployments by reducing
CPU, memory and storage requirements, and to simplify desktop security and
lifecycle management. The results of the collaboration are planned for release
late in the second half of 2010.
