Re: Deepfreeze on vm's?

This is likely one of those situations where I should just continue to shut
my mouth until we are already to act but here goes:

 

My company Valt.X Technologies owns the patents in this area and we intend
to enforce our patents in 2012.

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.

Subject: [SECURITY] Deepfreeze on vm's?

 

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.  

 

What are you doing in situations if a user profile gets hosed up with
malware in this vm enviroment?
