Abstract
Systems and methods for migrating a virtual resource from a source host in a source network to a destination host in a destination network are provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises establishing a secure communication connection between a source proxy in the source network and a destination proxy in the destination network; and monitoring migration traffic directed from the source host to the source proxy and forwarding said traffic to the destination proxy which in turn forwards the traffic to the destination host over the secure communication connection between the source proxy and the destination proxy, such that the communication addresses of the source host and the destination host remain guarded from direct access by an entity outside of the source network or the destination network.
