VMware VDI - VMware and vmSight tackling HIPPA and PCI compliance challenges

Possibly one of the fastest growing areas for VMware VDI is in the Healthcare space. With increased regulations for data protection and access compliance. IT organizations continue to face the challenges of meeting high standards while also delivering manageable desktop services. Hospitals and heathcare organizations across the globe are embracing and standardizing their desktop infrastructures using VMware VDI. VMware VDI offers centrally managed virtual desktops for IT administrators while also offering tremendous value to the medical staff with increased mobility and flexibility.

By leveraging VMware VDI, IT administrators can ensure data is managed securely from with-in the datacenter. By centralizing the data and removing it from the client devices or end points this helps fulfill some of the regulatory compliance needs. Now with the use of vmSight, IT organizations can go beyond just centralizing and securing their desktop data. Leveraging the vmSight Network Intelligence Suite IT administrators can now add a whole new level of tracking and reporting to their VMware VDI and VMware ACE virtual desktop environments.

vmSight enables administrators to track which users access which virtual desktops and when, track what virtual desktops are created or moved, track virtual desktop network usages, track virtual desktop application usage and access, sent alerts when there is suspicious or unauthorized access, define access profiles that meet HIPPA, PCI and SOX regulations and generate reports that comply with meeting these strict standards as well.

The value in adding vmSight to a VMware VDI deployment is not specific to just health care. A lot of value can be gained in any virtual desktop deployment. Recently I had the oppertunity to work with closely with vmSight on a paper that provides and in-depth view of the benfits that can be gained by combining VMware VDI and vmSight for your virtual desktop deployments. I am excited to announce the paper is now live and available for download! For more information please see the following.
