Nutanix Flow Network Security
Software-Defined Networking for the Multi-Cloud Era.
Overview
Nutanix Flow Network Security is a core component of the Nutanix Cloud Platform, providing application-centric microsegmentation to protect against internal and external threats. It is natively integrated into the Nutanix AHV hypervisor, allowing for the creation of granular, stateful firewall policies that are attached to VMs. This simplifies security management and ensures policies follow applications wherever they move.
✨ Key Features
- Application-centric microsegmentation
- Natively integrated with Nutanix AHV
- Visualization of network traffic
- Identity-based security policies (AD/LDAP)
- Service insertion for third-party security tools
- Compliance and audit reporting
🎯 Key Differentiators
