TBDVirtualFabric - VMware Edition (VME) provides the missing pieces to realize the full benefits of Datacenter Virtualization by unifying physical and virtual firewall and networking infrastructure.
VMware Edition is based on TBDVirtualFabric, the industry's only highly scalable Network Virtualization solution that is in production in the world's largest virtual networks with over 30,000 Virtual Network endpoints in a single installation.
TBDVirtualFabric-VME has been specifically designed to provide a virtual fabric of networking, security, and firewall capabilities to enrich VMware environments. It provides full integration with VMware ESX and Virtual Center and with networking hardware by leading vendors including Cisco and Foundry.
TBDVirtualFabric runs on Solaris, Linux, Windows and inside a VMware Virtual Machine.
Maximize Virtualization Potential
TBDVirtualFabric-VME completes the Virtual Datacenter
|
Server and storage virtualization have yielded tremendous benefits by reducing operational costs and hardware expenditures while significantly increasing business agility. However, virtualization projects result directly in increased network complexity due to the addition of virtual network devices and significantly higher change rates. TBDVirtualFabric-VME changes the paradigm by virtualizing the network across virtual and physical firewalls and switches. The result is a virtual fabric that is as flexible as virtual servers and fully integrate with IP-based storage, a fully virtualized datacenter.

Rapid Deployment
Network virtualization within minutes of installation
|
TBDVirtualFabric-VME naturally extends the benefits of VMware and VMotion. With a single click of a button, TBDVirtualFabric-VME automatically discovers a company's entire network of both physical and virtual devices (including firewalls, switches and VLANs), and presents an intuitive GUI that for configuration of dynamic network and security policies to adhere to corporate standards and to facilitate regulatory compliance.

Fit for Hybrid Environments
Unified management for virtual and physical firewalls and switches
|
No environment is entirely virtual or entirely physical; security must cut through the virtual-physical boundary. TBDVirtual Fabric-VME allows you to manage virtual and physical firewalls through the same consistent interface with policies spanning both physical and virtual devices. Currently supported physical firewall technologies are Cisco ASA, Cisco PIX and Cisco IOS. more vendors will be added shortly. SNMP and Syslog support guarantees seamless integration to the existing management infrastructure.

Benefits
Maximize Return on Investment
|
TBDVirtualFabric-VME reduces networking costs, especially in multi-vendor networks (i.e. Cisco, Foundry, Juniper, etc), without compromising security by reducing hardware expenditure, and improving the utilization of existing hardware an dnetwork connections. It permits companies to provision, manage, and reconfigure network devices at the speed of business. In addition to improved network performance, availability, and QoS, it can simultaneously help companies reduce security risks and network threats.
