What does IVS mean in UNCLASSIFIED

IVS offers several benefits, including:

• Simplified VM networking: IVS provides a centralized point of control for VM networking, making it easier to manage and configure network connectivity.
• Improved performance and reliability: IVS uses a distributed architecture and advanced routing algorithms to optimize network performance and reliability.
• Enhanced security: IVS implements robust security features, such as access control lists (ACLs) and encryption, to protect VM traffic.
• Cost efficiency: IVS offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model, which allows users to scale their network infrastructure as needed without upfront investments.

IVS operates as a layer 2 switch in the cloud. It creates a virtual network fabric that connects VMs and applications across different geographical locations. VMs connected to IVS can communicate with each other over a secure and private network, even if they are located in different regions or clouds.

IVS can be used in various use cases, including:

• Hybrid cloud networking: IVS enables seamless connectivity between VMs running in on-premises data centers and public clouds.
• Multi-region application deployment: IVS allows applications to be deployed across multiple regions, ensuring high availability and performance.
• Secure inter-VM communication: IVS provides a secure and isolated network environment for VMs to communicate with each other.
• Network segmentation and isolation: IVS supports network segmentation and isolation, enabling the creation of multiple virtual networks within a single physical network.

To get started with IVS, you can follow these steps:

1. Create an IVS instance in your cloud environment.
2. Connect your VMs to the IVS instance.
3. Configure network settings and security rules as needed.
4. Monitor and manage your IVS instance using the cloud provider's console or APIs.
