Virtualization Management Center (VMC) enables next generation data centers to enforce IT policies, ensure compliance with government mandates, and manage and protect virtual servers, desktops, and
networks across multiple platforms.
VMC provides a single authoritative visual interface, central management and security for heterogeneous virtual environments. By combining the centralized event database, virtual infrastructure
integration and analysis engines with a robust visual interface it is possible to administer, audit, secure and monitor complex, dynamic, virtual infrastructures. This results in better network and
event visibility for a faster and more efficient management and security response. Through extensive real-time and historical visual reporting and revision control, Reflex VMC gives administrators
the tools they need to efficiently meet stringent compliance requirements and provide secure management for virtualized data centers.
Reflex VMC is purpose-built on a strong security foundation to provide the essential tools needed to bridge the gap between security and management in the virtualized data centers.
Virtual Infrastructure Discovery & Mapping
Since you can't control what you can’t see, visibility is key in managing, monitoring and securing the dynamic virtual infrastructure. Administrators need a logical visual representation of their virtual
environment in order to understand the virtual network, track changes and address virtualization challenges that have security implications like server sprawl, server mobility, configuration and
infrastructure changes.
Revision Control & Configuration Monitoring
To maintain secure configuration in virtual environment, organizations need the ability to track all infrastructure changes in real-time as well as historically to identify unauthorized configuration
changes, configuration errors and enforce policies across the entire virtual network infrastructure. Revision Control allows users to monitor the virtual environment through a timeline-based graphical
topology view and correlate security events and alerts in context to perform forensic analysis and control the dynamic environment.
Application Services Discovery & Monitoring
Application/services visibility and awareness inside the virtual infrastructure identifies which applications/services are running on which virtual machines. Utilizing VMC and VSA, administrators can
detect application dependencies and misconfigurations, reduce overall security risks and optimize the virtual network infrastructure to support its service level business requirements. This capability
is done at the network level and eliminates the need to deploy agents with every virtual machine.
Virtual Network Security
Integrated firewall and deep packet inspection provides a complete security around and between virtual machines to reduce the risk of virtual machine intrusion, infection, compliance violations or
other consequences. Reflex VSA can inspect virtual network traffic for known malicious activity, detect network anomalies and alert users of the event. If deployed in-line, VSA can take action and
block packets based on network policy. Policy enforcement at the virtual network layer provides the user the capabilities to address security incidents in the virtual environment.
Virtual Performance & Monitoring
Monitoring and managing virtual performance enables organizations to increase business efficiency and business continuity in the datacenter. The ability to detect bottlenecks inside the virtual
infrastructure, over-utilized VMs, performance issues of a critical applications, and outages will allow administrators to improve the service level for critical applications, quickly troubleshoot
issues and optimize virtual infrastructure.
Virtual Machine Lifecycle
Monitoring the health of a virtual machine throughout its lifecycle is essential to managing your virtual environment securely. Reflex VMC provides vital information about the VMs and the surrounding
virtual infrastructure to manage VM sprawl, track VM changes and performance, and monitor security events throughout the VM life span. These events and changes must be managed in context with security
to accurately understand the impact on the network and ultimately the business.
