New Update

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.
