The Secure Workspace for Remote Work

Venn isolates and protects work from any personal use on the same computer, whether BYO or company issued.

Venn is a secure workspace for remote work that isolates and protects work from any personal use on the same computer. Work lives in a secure local enclave that is company controlled, where all data is encrypted and access is managed. Within the enclave – visually indicated by the Blue Border around these applications – business activity is walled off from anything that happens on the personal side. As a result, work and personal uses can now safely coexist on the same computer.

User Reviews

  • I'm really impressed with btest. I've been doing a lot of disk testing with iozone, and iometer lately... and they all have their problems. btest, on the other hand, seems very full-featured, thoughtfully designed, and well documented. I especially appreciate how it allows you to control the dedup and compression ratios, for testing modern storage devices. This is probably my new favorite tool for doing I/O benchmarking on Linux hosts.
