Physical Firewalls Don't See It

Invisible networks are spreading within data centers. Virtualization of computing hardware is creating these networks of virtual machines (VMs) within physical servers. Traditional network monitoring and security measures are unable to see or control the growing volume of inter-VM traffic.

Enterprises are increasingly concerned about the risks of virtual networks, which range from undeterred malware exploits to mixing trusted and untrusted systems. Some have scaled back the scope and economic benefits of virtualization. Others tried to apply traditional security to the virtual environment. However, key virtualization technologies such as VMotion from VMware break the models of physical network tools.

Altor VF

Altor Networks created the Altor VF virtual firewall specifically to mitigate the risks of virtual networks, while maintaining the ROI of virtualization. A next generation security solution purpose-built for the virtual environment, the Altor VF monitors and controls inter-VM traffic, enforcing security policies at the individual VM level. Because it was designed from scratch to secure the latest virtualization technologies, it provides the thorough protection and ease of operation missing from traditional physical networking products and workarounds.

Altor Center

The Altor Networks' Altor Center is the user interface to the Altro VF virtual firewall. It provides visibility and control of the traffic and protocols flowing into, out of, and between VMs in the virtual environement. Before deciding how to secure traffic in your virtual environment, you need to see what’s going on in there. The Altor Center provides a detailed analysis of the data transfers and a display of the actual protocols being used.

Altor VNSA

The Altor VNSA analyzer has been upgraded to the Altor VF virtual firewall — providing all the visibility and analysis of the Altor VNSA plus the ability to fully secure any or all of your VMs with a stateful virtual firewall.
