New VMware Vmsafe Technology Allows the Virtual Datacenter to Be More Secure Than Physical Environments

VMware announced new security technology called VMware VMsafe that protects applications running in virtual machines in ways previously not possible in physical environments.

VMsafe provides a unique capability for virtualized environments through an application program interface (API)-sharing program that enables select partners to develop security products for VMware environments.

VMsafe technology integrates into the VMware hypervisor and provides the transparency to prevent threats and attacks such as viruses, Trojans and key loggers from ever reaching a virtual machine.
