Valerie, Is there any room for discussion regarding your point #1 below? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Basgen Director of Client Services (Acting) & Information Security Officer Pima Community College Office: 520-206-4873 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Valerie Vogel Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 8:45 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Michael - Patent Infringement Notice All - I have removed this particular vendor from the list. Hopefully we can bring this thread to a close. Just a few friendly reminders about this list: 1) EDUCAUSE Discussion Groups use an open, self-subscription protocol to encourage wide participation. List discussions are also publicly archived and fully searchable. (We understand there is some concern about the way this list is currently set up.) 2) Common Sense Rules: Unacceptable Use * Obscenity or profanity and inflammatory language are not acceptable. If you as a subscriber are concerned that such a communication has occurred, you are welcome to direct your complaint or protest directly to the offending subscriber, to the volunteer group leader for comment, and/or to EDUCAUSE staff for appropriate action. Please do so through private correspondence, rather than aggravating the situation by focusing group discussion on it. Thank you, Valerie _______________ Valerie M.

There are quite a few of us who have moved all responses off-list in order not to be farmed for contact information by vendors already, but this wins the award. I would encourage you to forward his response to CNM's legal counsel, as they probably need a good laugh. -- Todd Yates Executive Director, Technical Operations Information Technology Services 210-431-4217 (office) St. Mary's University One Camino Santa Maria San Antonio, Texas 78228 This message is intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

You had it right in your first paragraph. Whatever the merits of your patent case (and you will have to forgive my skepticism) you have no business interjecting it into this discussion.

Here's my advice - if you are using Deep Freeze or any VDI - include in your contract that they cover you for Patent Infringement. Valt.X has just won its first public tender in Canada - we own this area and intend to enforce our intellectual property rights. Our position is that Deep Freeze is a blatant copy of Valt.X issued patents and that VDI also infringes our patents - we intend to sue all infringers. Dennis Meharchand CEO, Valt.X Technologies Inc.

We are looking into VDI for all our computer labs. VMware View to be exact with WYSE P20 Zero Clients. Roughly about 300 or more vm's for all the labs.
From a virtual standpoint - do you see the need for Faronics Deepfreeze on all computer lab vm's? Currently we are using Deepfreeze on our desktops in all labs and has worked out great. For this situation, I'm not interested in the security implications of why Deepfreeze is bad, just if its recommended in a virtual environment.
