The Agilio OVS Firewall empowers users to create more sophisticated filtering policies, security groups, access control lists, and stateful firewall applications. This solution serves as a seamless accelerator for Open vSwitch (OVS), ensuring compatibility with established networking tools, controllers, and orchestration systems. The Agilio SmartNICs, along with Agilio software, monitor the evolving features of standard OVS, which now encompass a range of server-based networking capabilities like flexible match-action forwarding, connection tracking (Conntrack), and network overlay management through tunneling protocols such as VXLAN and NVGRE. Additionally, it provides detailed statistics and measurement tools, supporting functionalities such as Layer 2/Layer 3 forwarding, network virtualization, enhanced security measures, load balancing, and advanced analytics. By integrating Agilio Firewall Software with Agilio SmartNICs, this product enhances the Agilio OVS Software suite, facilitating zero-trust stateful security while also significantly boosting the performance of server-based networking. Furthermore, this combination allows for more agile responses to evolving security threats, ensuring that organizations can maintain robust protection in a dynamic digital landscape.
