Arista Extends CloudVision For Secure Cloud Networking
Introduces macro-segmentation services with Check Point, F5 Networks, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and VMware.
Arista Networks has announced a new capability for CloudVision®, Macro-Segmentation Services (MSS™), that allows next-generation firewalls and Application Delivery Controllers to be enabled automatically for specific workloads and workflows across any network topology. This includes Layer-2, Layer-3 and overlay network virtualization frameworks.
MSS addresses a growing gap in current security deployment models wherein embedded security in the virtualization hypervisors addresses inter-VM communication and physical firewalls address north-south traffic. Yet no solution exists to dynamically insert security services for data centers consisting of a mixture of physical and virtualized workloads. Arista is working with leaders in the industry such as Check Point, F5 Networks, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks and VMware to advance and simplify the integration of physical and virtualized resources with its cloud networking technologies.
