Dynamic Policy Enforcement
Reflex enables enterprises to truly leverage virtualization to do things that were simply not possible in the physical environment. One of the primary barriers to widespread adoption of virtualization in the enterprise is security and the enforcement of critical policies. Without this core capability, organizations are more hesitant to migrate their virtualization initiatives from the sandbox into live production environments unless they can be assured that it is secured and existing policies can be seamlessly extended and enforced. The problem is further exacerbated as organizations move their infrastructure into the cloud – regardless of whether or not it is a private or public cloud environment.
Reflex VMC and the vTrust component provides dynamic policy enforcement that was designed to provide a more granular level of visibility and control within the virtual environment, enabling more sophisticated segmentation, enforcement, and monitoring of intra virtual machine traffic. This level of true data center policy enforcement across the entire virtualized environment – whether it is hosted locally or in internal and external cloud environments –enables organizations to manage more efficiently, reducing the OPEX costs that come with managing the virtualized datacenter.
