Now they are releasing the latest version v2.1 with new improvements.

The new major functionalities are as follows:

  • Management reporting – Runecast introduced “management report”.
    There is no need to spend a lot of time configuring or building the report from scratch, it provides a complete and representative report in a single click.
  • Security auditing automation for HIPAA profile – “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act” aka “HIPAA” is required by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who developed HIPAA privacy and security policy in order to regulate and protect the privacy and security of certain health information.
    As any other stringent security standard, it may cause considerable difficulties to admins who need to get their environment ready for an ongoing audit. Version 2.1 of Runecast Analyzer is a good news for everyone in such a situation because this version brings the HIPAA security profile and automated checks of the VMware environment.
