Virtual Switch: High-impact Technology - What You Need to Know: Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors

Kevin Roebuck

Description

A virtual switch is a software program that allows one virtual machine (VM) to communicate with another.

Just like its counterpart, the physical Ethernet switch, a virtual switch does more than just forward data packets. It can intelligently direct communication on the network by inspecting packets before passing them on. Some vendors embed virtual switches right into their virtualization software, but a virtual switch can also be included in a server's hardware as part of its firmware.

This book is your ultimate resource for Virtual Switch. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know.
