Windows 7 to Windows 10 Migration TCO & Features
IGEL OS 11 Endpoint vs. Traditional Windows 10 Laptop
Document number:
220103
Release Date:
28 Jan 2020
January 14, 2020 marked the end-of-support (EOS) date for Microsoft
Windows 7. According to Computerworld, over 400 million users were
still running Windows 7 as of January 2020. This once-in-a-lifecyle event is
forcing a migration to Windows 10 for millions of users.
IGEL developed IGEL OS 11 as a software-defined endpoint that provides
simple, secure, high-performance access to virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI) and cloud workspaces. This Linux-based system runs on any
compatible 64-bit x86 hardware.
IGEL commissioned Tolly to evaluate a Windows 10 migration total cost of
ownership (TCO) model that compared the costs of migration using a
traditional (“fat client”) approach requiring new PC/laptop hardware vs.
leveraging IGEL OS and legacy hardware to provide Windows 10 virtual
desktops for users. Additionally, breadth of IGEL VDI support and client
management were evaluated.
The TCO evaluation demonstrated the dramatic economic benefits of
leveraging existing hardware for use as a virtual desktop client along with
corresponding reductions in support costs with lightweight endpoints
running IGEL OS. (See Figure 1.) Tolly engineers confirmed the fast and
easy conversion of legacy PCs into IGEL virtual desktop clients along with
the depth of management support.

Sophos Antivirus for vShield v1.0
VMware Server and VDI Client Workload Performance versus Trend Micro Deep Security and McAfee MOVE Agentless
Document number:
214110
Release Date:
07 Apr 2014
A key element in the explosive growth of virtualization is the ability to drive the physical server hardware to higher, and more cost-efficient, utilization levels. With that in mind, it is important that server resources are not wasted by overly demanding antivirus (AV) solutions. VMware’s vShield Endpoint provides access to VM resources via a virtual appliance rather than by requiring agents on each VM.
Sophos commissioned Tolly to evaluate its Antivirus for vShield v1.0 solution and compare its performance to two other vShield-based offerings: McAfee MOVE Agentless 3.0 and Trend Micro Deep Security 9. Tests encompassed a range of VMware ESXi5.5 Microsoft Server 2008 virtual server applications including a web, database and file services. A virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment with 120 Windows 7 Enterprise virtual machines on a host was also evaluated using a VMware View Planner 2.1 standard workload.
The Sophos solution demonstrated consistently better performance and, by inference, lower system resource demands than the McAfee and Trend Micro solution.

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization v2.0 - Competitive Anti-virus Performance and Effectiveness in VMware vSphere 5.1 Virtual Environments
Document number:
213132
Release Date:
05 Aug 2013
In virtual environments, anti-virus (A/V) solutions can be implemented as a client-based agent, whereby all security processing takes place on the client, a virtual appliance that handles the A/V workload- or some hybrid of the two. As more users of virtual infrastructures begin to understand the advantages of virtualization-specific security solutions over traditional agent-based approaches, leading vendors have begun to take note, adding such virtualization-specific products to their portfolios. Efficient resource usage with minimal impact on the host and virtual infrastructure, specifically, are the primary benefits of using a solution optimized for a virtual environment.
Kaspersky Lab commissioned Tolly to benchmark the performance and effectiveness of its new, agentless Security for Virtualization v2.0 offering in VMware vSphere 5 virtual environments vs. agentless Trend Micro Deep Security 8 SP2 and McAfee MOVE Agentless Security 2.6 and agent-based Symantec SEP 12.1.2.
Tolly found that Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 2.0 blends efficient hypervisor resource usage with solid protection abilities by delivering lower average response times and disk usage than the other products tested. Kaspersky also defended against threats better than the the other agentless offerings under test.

Release Date:
09 Feb 2011
Server and desktop virtualization are essential elements of any IT strategy that seeks to decrease capital and operational expenditures . In the rush to implement virtualization technologies, many organizations simply deploy the same anti-virus solution that is in use on their physical server and desktop systems. Because these traditional anti-virus solutions are not designed specifically for virtual environments, they can create significant operational issues such as anti-virus (AV) storms, resource wastage and administrative overhead, and hamper the organization’s objective of maximizing VM densities.
Trend Micro, Inc. commissioned Tolly to benchmark the performance within virtual environments of the Trend Micro Deep Security solution vs. McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint and Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0. Specifically, this testing evaluated the impact each solution had on host system (physical server) resources especially as guest machine density increased to up to 100 virtual machines simultaneously running in a VMware ESX 4.1 environment.
