VyOS Universal Router for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager
Go deeper on Oracle Infrastructure with VyOS
Keep Your Network Under Control
Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager is a powerful and easy-to-deploy platform for managing server virtualization. It enables you to efficiently configure, monitor, and control environments based on the Oracle Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).
VyOS complements this by providing complete control over network traffic within these virtualized environments. It allows for traffic segmentation across VLANs, advanced filtering through a stateful firewall, and enhanced connectivity using policy-based and dynamic routing protocols. With a rich set of built-in features, VyOS is well-suited for addressing complex networking challenges in virtual infrastructures.
Scalability Through Resource Integration
Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager is a powerful server virtualization management platform built on the open-source oVirt project. It enables you to configure, monitor, and manage Oracle Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) environments—including hosts, virtual machines, storage, networks, and users.
By integrating VyOS, you can add an advanced layer of virtual networking, enabling the deployment of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) such as edge routers, firewalls, and VPN concentrators to enhance the security and connectivity of your virtual machines.
Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager also provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API) for managing your KVM infrastructure, allowing you to integrate the Manager with other management systems or to automate repetitive tasks with scripts.
Deployment
VyOS is a friendly solution for virtual environments, greatly easing the pain of deployment. Oracle VM Server allows installing virtual machines from an ISO image using native installers or deploying them from virtual appliances, and both ways can be used with VyOS.
Performance control
Oracle VM Server supports up to 384 physical CPUs, 4096 virtual CPUs and 6TB memory, which can be divided automatically between virtual machines, using pre-configured rules and limitations. This allows assigning as much resource to a VyOS, as required. You will not need to purchase additional hardware each time you need to extend networking performance.
Reliability
Both VyOS and Oracle VM Server are ready to provide high-availability services. Oracle VM Server contains built-in backup and migration tools, and VyOS allows using a cluster of routers as a single virtual routing instance. Combining this, especially with remote locations, you can create a truly reliable architecture for your services.
The “Why”
Oracle VM Server is a virtualization solution that provides affordable enterprise-quality support for any environment with zero license cost. Together with VyOS, it brings a number of benefits. To name a few:
Cost-effective, enterprise-quality support.
Easy management with Oracle VM Manager and VyOS CLI.
Instant deployment of complete computing environments.
No deployment limitations or per-instance/per-router licensing.
