VMready Switch
* VMready creates a virtual port for each VM that can be configured for VLANs, ACLs, QoS etc.
* VMready see the packets sent from VMs as they migrate and moves the virtual ports and
policies in real time with NMotion™
– Virtual Machines stay attached and secure
VMready - Addressing Virtual Machines concerns
• Traditional switches are blind to VM-specific traffic
– Can neither monitor nor manage Virtual Machine traffic
– Network Engineers lack tools to troubleshoot VM traffic
– VM migration can expose security holes
Do you know where your VMs are?

• OpenFlow Paradigm
– Access to the Forwarding Plane
– Path of the network determined by
external controller
– Program HW tables instead of trusting
switches to learn on their own
• Replaces traditional network protocols:
– Spanning Tree
– OSPF, BGP, IGMP
– IP PIM
– ACLs
– PBR
– etc
