Best Uses for the Basic Virtual Network

The network in a box scenario enables you to isolate processes and applications into individual virtual machines or zones on a single host. Furthermore, this scenario is expandable to include many containers, each of which could run a completely isolated set of applications. The scenario improves a system's efficiency and, by extension, the efficiency of the local network. Therefore, this scenario is ideal for the following users:

• Network consolidators and others who want to consolidate the services of a LAN onto a single system.

• Any site that rents out services to customers. You can rent out individual zones or virtual machines, observe traffic, and take statistics for performance measuring or for billing purposes on each zone in the virtual network.

• Any administrator who wants to isolate processes and applications to separate containers to improve system efficiency .
