Nice summary of it all ************************* Posted by: aleajactaest Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:07:51 PM In reply to: None Post # of 169574
ControlVault
First take:
1. Dell ControlVault client-side branding is replacing the old dual Dell-Wave branding.
2. This is connected to the higher pricing of Wave's client-side software.
3. ControlVault now directly competes with HP's ProtectTools. ProtectTools is built on Infineon's solution.
4. Wave presumably will hope to replace Infineon with HP if Dell gains an advantage.
5. Since Wave's upgrade services seemed to gain no branding advantage from being included in Dell's client-side security package, they probably haven't lost that much in no longer being part of the name.
6. This still means the chasm between unique unit client-side security enhancement, and network managed multi-user trust administration, remains to be crossed
