EMC Corporation announced EMC My Documentum®, a family of products that allows everyone in the organization to utilize EMC Documentum enterprise content management (ECM) functionalities directly from common desktop applications and familiar interfaces. With the My Documentum family, all business-critical information is accessible, controlled and archived for governance and compliance requirements without the user having to leave their everyday application. By providing integrations to common applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Windows Explorer and Microsoft SharePoint, the My Documentum family extends sophisticated ECM capabilities to every desktop enabling IT organizations to advance knowledge worker adoption and further increase the return on investments of their Documentum solution. EMC My Documentum for Outlook allows users to fully leverage Outlook's native user interface features, menus and toolbars to file, store, find and manage critical e-mails and attachments in the Documentum repository. Deeper integration with Outlook menus, toolbars and search and folder structures to reduce the user's learning curve. Users can simply drag and drop e-mails and attachments into repository folders and then apply properties, permissions, versions and locations directly from the Outlook interface. EMC My Documentum Offline is a new lightweight client that allows mobile workers access to the latest versions of content they use most often while disconnected from the Documentum repository. Content may be edited, added, deleted and subscribed while offline and will automatically synchronize upon reconnecting to the repository. My Documentum Offline is fully integrated with Microsoft Windows.

EMC Corporation announced a range of new products, solutions and services designed to enhance the value of the VMware View(TM) 4 desktop virtualization solutions. These offerings provide organizations with new technology capabilities, along with consulting services and actionable guidance to apply EMC(®) management and security controls for hosted virtual desktop environments. Businesses across many industries and government entities are deploying hosted virtual desktops using VMware View solutions to centralize management, improve security, increase operational efficiencies, and address compliance. Centralizing the management of employees' desktop and laptop environments through virtualization and applying security controls such as strong authentication, data loss prevention, security information and event management along with management controls such as server configuration management, helps ensure key company and government assets remain available, shareable and secure. EMC Storage Infrastructure for VMware View(TM); The combination of EMC(®) unified storage solutions and VMware View Composer products enables customers to deploy hosted virtual desktops at competitive pricing to traditional desktops while adding operational efficiencies, reducing storage costs, providing higher availability, and increasing flexibility that delivers greater overall business value. Greater efficiencies and cost savings are possible by leveraging additional EMC product features and technologies such as data deduplication and Enterprise Flash Disk drives. Deploying VMware View on EMC's unified storage systems provides a fully optimized infrastructure with high levels of availability and disaster recovery capabilities. Leveraging PC over IP also enables a robust desktop experience for end users. For businesses and government organizations seeking expertise in leveraging VMware View(TM) based on EMC information infrastructure and customer deployment best practices, EMC offers comprehensive consulting services that accelerate projects, guarantee outcomes, and integrate VMware and EMC technologies together. An example presented at VMworld 2009 based on a customer project was the intellectual property to integrate VMware View Composer, VMware vCenter(TM) Site Recovery Manager and EMC Replication technologies for turnkey disaster recovery for virtualized clients. Securing endpoints such as laptops and desktops to reduce security risks such as accidental data loss, theft or inappropriate access to sensitive information and applications is one of the challenges in IT. Another cornerstone of the new EMC offerings to combat these risks is the RSA® Solution for VMware View, an integrated set of RSA and EMC(®) Ionix(®) technologies which, in conjunction with VMware View, enhance management and security of virtualized desktops. As part of the solution, RSA announced the RSA SecurBook(TM) for VMware View solution, which provides detailed guidance for deploying and administering key security controls in hosted virtual desktop environments. Specifically, the RSA SecurBook solution details how businesses may integrate RSA(®) Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint, RSA enVision(®) technology, RSA(®) SecurID(®) authentication and EMC Ionix Server Configuration Manager within a VMware View environment. Technology capabilities delivered as part of the RSA solution include: Ensuring Data Confidentiality: As part of the solution for VMware View, RSA now addresses the risk of sensitive data leakage by delivering integration with the RSA DLP Suite. Specifically, with RSA DLP Endpoint, administrators can configure data detection policies to discover sensitive information and enforce controls across all workstations in the enterprise from a centralized location. The RSA enVision security information and event management (SIEM) platform now delivers the ability to monitor user and administrator actions within VMware View. In addition, the RSA enVision platform is designed to monitor and report on the VMware vSphere(TM) environment to enable organizations to make better security decisions based on more accurate and timely security intelligence. RSA SecurID two-factor authentication provides an added layer of security to ensure the right user can access the relevant virtual session and the most sensitive content within the virtual desktop environment. Specifically, RSA SecurID is engineered to integrate with VMware View to enable customers to enforce strong authentication to the VMware View portal and with the VMware ESX Service Console to protect administrative access. In addition, EMC Ionix Server Configuration Manager (SCM) has been documented in the RSA SecurBook solution to support managing changes and configurations within the VMware View environment. EMC Ionix SCM offers organizations tools to automate the process of identifying configuration changes that violate policy to help reduce security risk. VMware View(TM) 4 and EMC Virtual Desktop Infrastructure consulting services are planned for availability worldwide in November 2009. EMC storage infrastructure and security solutions for VMware View, including RSA SecurBook for VMware View are planned for availability worldwide in December 2009.

EMC Corporation announced expanded product, engineering support and consulting services for Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and Windows 7--providing customers with greater control, increased efficiency and the ability to react to critical business needs faster. The new offerings demonstrate EMC's continued commitment to helping mutual customers optimize Microsoft environments spanning the desktop running Windows 7 to virtualized data centers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, and across key business critical applications, such as Exchange 2010.
