Introducing Bare-metal Performance with the Benefits of Virtualization

Confidential Compute

Full memory encryption with unique encryption keys for each VM. No refactoring or additional software needed

Zero Trust

Designed with processor-based Zero Trust at the silicon level. Meet & Exceed NIST 800-207

Stop Zero-Days

Active Response Capability ARC built-in to stop zero-days and other exploits/malware

Determinism & QoS

No Virtualization Tax/Overhead. Highest level of Determinism & QoS available on multicore processors today.

Why traditional hypervisors fall short

Security issues

Traditional hypervisors share hardware resources between VMs that can open workloads up to side-channel attacks (think Spectre, Meltdown). Attackers are moving lower in the stack to target BIOS, Firmware, and Hardware to avoid detection.
Attackers continue to find Side-Channel exploits on all processors (Intel, AMD, Arm)
Most virtualization platforms do nothing to secure Firmware or Enforce Secure Boot
Most virtualization platforms have no cryptographic protection of workloads or  insider threats

Performance issues

Traditional hypervisors can not guarantee quality of service and have trouble meeting performance requirements when under load. They also can not run latency-sensitive or real-time workloads due to interference on multi-core CPUs.
Traditional virtualization oversubscribe workloads and cannot meet performance requirements
Noisy neighbors can over-consume resources causing other VMs to slow down and timeout
Real-time and latency-sensitive workloads do not have the QoS guarantees they need

Cockpit & LibVirt Integration

Metalvisor aims to be simple to use and work with industry leading open source APIs. Metalvisor is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and is validated and certified with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Metalvisor works with leading automation tools Ansible and Terraform.

Metalvisor Meets & Exceeds NIST
Zero Trust 800-207 policy, delivering advanced security today.

Metalvisor provides Zero Trust at the CPU level by using cryptographic verification of hardware, extending it to the runtime of applications. Metalvisor provides advanced security measures that meet and exceed the guidelines set forth by NIST 800-207 for Zero Trust.

This advanced level of security can provide peace of mind to the DOD and help to minimize the risk of security breaches, data loss, and other cyber threats.
