Enhancements have been made in particular to the areas of management and security, including for:
• USB devices policy enforcement
• NetBoot

New features allow administrators to select and enforce a USB device policy, so that only allowed devices may be connected. OS X guests can be installed using a NetBoot image from a server on the corporate network, and OS X virtual machines can be encrypted with the help of the FileVault encryption feature that is built into OS X. Centralised administration and management capabilities have been added, as well as enhanced security to keep IT in control of virtual machines. With Update 1 of the software, administrators can also and check the status of licenses and reclaim seats directly.
