Network isolation (IP⁠-⁠fabric)

Creating isolated networks within a virtual machine cluster


<span>Network isolation (IP⁠-⁠fabric)</span>

Key features

Increased performance

Building a pure L3 architecture in a cluster without using broadcast traffic, reducing network load and increasing throughput

Optimization and savings

Reduced service traffic, fast scalability, saving public IP addresses and their independence from nodes

Security and isolation

Serving virtual machine addresses over a private network, isolating client virtual machines from each other

Scalability

Increasing network scalability, adding new nodes and resources without significant changes to the architecture

IP fabric — network configuration for virtual machine clusters

IP-fabric (network factory) is a network configuration for clusters in VMmanager, which allows you to build a pure L3 architecture (only routing at the IP level) and optimizes virtual infrastructure management:


Reducing service traffic

IP-fabric significantly reduces service traffic due to the /32 mask, increasing network efficiency.

High security and isolation of client virtual machines

The company's physical infrastructure is in a closed circuit, and client networks are isolated from each other.

Fast and inexpensive scalability

IP fabric allows you to add new nodes and resources without significant changes to your network configuration. This makes it easy to expand the network as the business grows or the workload increases. Using the BGP protocol allows you to quickly adapt to changes in the network, add new routes and ensure high availability.

Saving public IP addresses

IP-fabric optimizes the management of IP addresses, saving address space and ensuring their independence from nodes. The larger the company's infrastructure, the greater the benefit.

Network Fabric in VMmanager

The network fabric architecture in VMmanager consists of two layers:


Lower level
Flat local L2 network for nodes. Only administrators have access to it.
Upper level
Virtual machines are assigned IP addresses with a /32 mask, which excludes the use of broadcast traffic. Routing is implemented based on the BGP protocol.

Route Reflector (a special device, physical or virtual server) transmits information about routes.
