Learning NVP, Part 1: High-Level Architecture

Scott Lowe

In this first post, I’ll start with a high-level description of the NVP architecture. The architecture I’m describing here will also be applicable to NSX, which VMware announced in early March.

As opposed to just encrypting data at the transport level (although Acra does that between components of its architecture) or just encrypting data at the storage level (using an encrypted file system or similar), Acra targets encrypting data at the table/row/column level within a database. My takeaway? Virtualization.

Learning NVP, Part 4: Adding Hypervisors to NVP

Scott Lowe

Just to quickly recap what’s happened so far, in part 1 I provided the high-level architecture of NVP and discussed the role of the components in broad terms. Create a Transport Zone. Before you can actually add the hypervisor to NVP, you first need to ensure that you have a transport zone defined. Installing OVS.
