VMWare NSX - Network Security Virtualization

What is VMware NSX?

  • Full-Stack Network & Security Virtualization that:
  • Enables your virtual cloud network to connect and protect applications across your data center, multi cloud , bare metal, and container infrastructure. VMware NSX Data Center delivers a complete L2-L7 networking and security virtualization platform — providing the ability to manage the entire network as a single entry from a single pane of glass.
  • Bring one-click provisioning to your networking and security services — access powerful flexibility, agility, and scale — by running a complete L2-L7 stack in software, decoupled from underlying physical hardware.
  • Manage consistent networking and security policies across private and public clouds , from a single pane of glass, regardless of where your application runs – VM, container, or bare metal. Deliver granular protection for your apps via micro-segmentation to the individual workload. Create context-aware security policies per workload while leveraging IDS/IPS to defend against lateral threats across multi-cloud environments.
  • Lower CapEx by up to 35% by consolidating networking and security functions to a single distributed virtualization platform and slash OpEx via simplified operations and optimized traffic flows.

Benefits of using VMWare NSX

Proven Virtualization Platform for the SDDC—NSX delivers all the networking capabilities that VMware offers for computing and storage. With NSX, you can create, delete, save and restore virtual networks on demand, without changing the physical network.

Stronger Security Policies—Unlike hardware-defined networks, NSX brings security into the SDDC with automated security policies that are tied to virtual machines, making it possible to create entire secure networks using virtualization in software. This approach segments and isolates networks for inherently better security.

Better IT Automation—Manual data center processes are the bane of an IT administrator’s job and a drain on the IT budget. Using NSX for network virtualization automates labor-intensive processes, eliminating errors and simplifying network configuration, provisioning, management and more.

Greater Application Continuity—The NSX platform delivers tight integration with third-party products so they can be deployed automatically and adapted dynamically. In addition to keeping applications continuously operational, NSX also helps with disaster recovery by eliminating the need to manually re-IP workloads and reconfigure security policies.
