HyTrust offers managers and administrators of VMware's ESX virtual infrastructure a centralized, single point of control for hypervisor configuration, compliance, and access management that is both secure and easy to use through ordinary Web browsers.

per CPU ESX socket protected plus 25 pecent for maintenance per year. Free
version available to protect up to three ESX hosts but without any
support contract.
