Abstract
Generally, this disclosure describes a secure network topology on a virtualized server (and methods thereof). A virtualization management module is deployed as part of a software layer of a virtualized server system. The virtualization management module generates an internal network among the virtual machines and controls access to the network. The virtualization management module translates incoming and outgoing traffic between the virtual machines and an external internet IP address, thus keeping the virtual machines indirectly coupled to the external network. The virtualization management module also provides remote administration and control over each virtual machine (or collection of virtual machines).
