VM aware Network - VMready™
VM 1
1. Creates a virtual port for each VM that can be configured for VLANs, ACLs, QoS etc.
2. Virtual port configurations can be synchronized with vSwitches via APIs
3. VMready see the packets sent from VMs as they migrate and moves the virtual ports and policies in real time with NMotion™
– Virtual Machine stay attached and secure
