Networking for Virtualization

One networking model for VMs and containers

Virtualization is evolving. Your networking should too.

  • Connectivity

    Unified networking model

    Bring virtual machines and containers into one shared networking layer. Apply consistent connectivity policies across environments without adding operational complexity.

  • Modernization

    Seamless migration

    Preserve IP identity and maintain connectivity across hypervisors and Kubernetes. Migrate workloads incrementally without re-architecting applications or rewriting firewall policies.

  • Security

    Identity-based security

    Extend identity-aware microsegmentation to virtual machines. Enforce consistent policy and reduce lateral movement across hybrid environments.

Enterprise-grade networking and security for virtual infrastructure

Connectivity

Multitenancy and segmentation for VM environments

The Isovalent Networking for Virtualization solution delivers consistent networking and segmentation for virtual machines in multi-tenant KubeVirt deployments.

Virtual machines get stateful networking and security with IP preservation across live migrations. Isovalent Networking for Virtualization extends Kubernetes networking to the services typically required by VM environments.

Network visibility

Visibility for VM environment​

Isovalent extends deep network visibility to virtual machine environments, providing flow-level insights and enhanced migration observability.

Teams can analyze traffic patterns, validate segmentation policies, and monitor migration progress without deploying additional agents. Integrated observability tools provide clarity across hybrid and multi-platform environments.

Migrate Seamlessly

Modernize without disruption

The Isovalent Network Bridge enables communication between traditional hypervisors and Kubernetes-based virtualization environments.

By preserving IP identity and maintaining network continuity, workloads can migrate incrementally without re-IP, firewall rule rewrites, or application refactoring. This reduces migration risk while supporting both full and partial migration strategies.

Security

Monitor efficiently, resolve swiftly

Isovalent extends identity-based microsegmentation to virtual machines, enforcing consistent policies across VM and container workloads.

By applying one policy model across environments, organizations reduce attack surface, eliminate policy drift, and maintain a stronger security posture during and after migration.

Expertise

Modernize virtualization without disruption

Unify networking, security, and visibility across virtual machines and Kubernetes. Migrate on your terms with a single, future-ready networking model.
