VMWare introduces ACE (assured computing environment)

On September 20, 2004 VMWare introduced VMware ACE, a new product that moves enterprise desktop management and security forward. VMware ACE allows IT desktop managers to provision secure, standardized PC environments throughout the extended enterprise.

One interesting feature of VMWare ACE is Rules-based network access. Rules-based network access identifies and quarantines unauthorized or out-of-date VMware ACE environments. Enable access to the network once the VMware ACE environment complies with IT policies. This feature is expetected to also become available in Windows Server 2003 'R2' where the feature is called "Quarantining"

Quarantining is the process of parking remote computers in a safe zone when they attempt to make a Virtual Private Network connection. Rather than giving computers direct access, the idea is to first ensure that the computer is running anti-virus software and is adequately patched. In some scenarios, it is possible to either limit the user's access or push patches to a machine.
