Product Overview

Virtual Environment Integrity Demands Effective Security

Server virtualization transforms computing and data center resources and creates efficiency, performance, and operational breakthroughs. However, an unguarded virtual environment is an easy target for network security breakthroughs.

Without appropriate controls, attacks quickly propagate between virtual machines and across your virtual network.  The resulting service interruptions, data integrity breaches, rogue access and compliance violations can suck the life out of your entire virtual infrastructure.

Securing a virtual network has rarely been easy.  Conventional physical security devices are essentially blind in this environment and many first-generation virtual security tools provide incomplete coverage or overtax host machine resources.  These drawbacks can lead to a false sense of security and kill virtual application performance.

Montego HyperSwitchTM:  The First System to Deliver Policy Enforcement, Access Control and Secure Switching for Virtual Networks

The Montego Networks HyperSwitchTM offers a fresh, patent-pending approach to virtualized security.  Montego is the first solution to integrate virtual network policy enforcement and access control with a high-availability virtual security switch:  

  • Virtual machine partitioning, 802.1Q VLANs and port-based security
  • Secure VM-to-VM communications
  • Virtual network discovery, visibility and rogue detection
  • Policy-based access control and auditing (including L2-L4, Identity and Content Firewalls)
  • High-availability, load balancing and Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning
  • Policy-based switching, traffic mirroring and 802.1D Spanning Tree
  • Policy-based delivery of third-party security inspection and applications

Montego Delivers Unsurpassed Security, Efficiency and Performance

Montego’s carefully-calibrated HyperVSecurity™ technology enables high throughput, low host resource consumption and helps ensure virtual application performance.

Montego HyperVSecurity AllianceTM: Interoperable Virtual Security Framework

Always thinking ahead, Montego is the first security vendor to recognize the user value of an interoperable, multi-vendor virtual security framework.  The Montego HyperVSecurity AllianceTM program allows third-party virtual security vendors to deliver their solutions via the Montego HyperSwitch platform.

Montego’s creative, vendor-agnostic approach allows you to easily deploy preferred security products in a “hub and spoke” switched layout.  This facilitates targeted security integration while minimizing network configuration, reliability and performance headaches.  Montego’s open mindset frees you from single-vendor limitations and facilitates selective, policy-based integration of best-of-breed deep packet inspection, IDS/IPS, patch management, anti-virus, anti-spyware and more.
