Today Sophos and 5nine Software announce a special 90-days Offer for Microsoft Server 2008 R2 / Hyper-V Users – free Enterprise Anti-Virus (AV) and Anti-Spyware (AS) with Virtual Firewall for Hyper-V.
“We are pleased to announce this Special Offer with Sophos – a leading provider of Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware solutions for SMB and Enterprise,” said Konstantin Malkov, CTO of 5nine Software. “5nine Virtual Firewall with Sophos Antivirus is a unique virtualization security solution application. It uses ‘Smart Scheduling’ to start, pause and resume the AV/AS scans based on the current virtual environment resource utilization and workload trends, thus allowing to avoid bottlenecks for hosts and virtual machines.”
The solution offers AV, AS and Virtual Firewall in a single comprehensive security package (5nine Security Manager) and optimized specifically for virtualization environments. 5nine Security Manager improves the security and compliance for multi-tenant cloud environments as well as Enterprise customers:
-
Protects your Virtual environment with powerful Enterprise Sophos Anti-Virus engine; Runs Anti-Virus scans automatically – without performance bottlenecks on hosts and virtual machines.
