Virtualization Query Language (VQL)

The Reflex Virtualization Query Language is a language created by Reflex in order to solve some of the most difficult problems in managing a highly dynamic IT infrastructure. VQL is a domain-specific language that correlates different types of information together into a single query specification using a combined natural and structured grammar. The VQL language provides the followign benefits:

  • Ability to handle large scale environments
  • Easy search
  • Visual Filtering
  • Provides declarative business logic
  • Makes it easier to extract contextual information
  • Integrate seamlessly with scripting languages
  • Acts as rule language for vTrust firewall rules
  • Single point of integration with 3rd party systems

The Reflex VMC is built upon the VQL language but the user is not required to understand VQL syntax in order to use the system. The Reflex VMC uses VQL builders to create VQL for the user using simple point-and-click user interface capabilities.
