NSX(Network Virtualization)
NSX
NSX provides a completely new networking operations model that forms the foundation for a software-defined data center (SDDC).
NSX Network Virtualization
VMware NSX is a market-leading software that provides Overlay network virtualization and security as a network virtualization solution.
Overlay Network
NSX enables Software-based Overlay network configuration and provides mobility under existing infrastructure IP constraints.
Distributed services based on Hypervisor and a variety of network/security services can also be configured as a single platform.
L2-L7 Network/Security
Platform for NSX
NSX implements network virtualization, provides a virtualized network environment based on physical networks, and contributes to infrastructure deployment, operational improvement, and cost savings by providing the necessary network/security features with-in the data center.
-
1.Logical SwitchSupports switching and additional capabilities for VM-to-VM connectivity in virtual environments -
2. Logical RouterLogical inter-switch routing that provides high-speed routing between EAST to WEST within a virtual network -
3. Logical FirewallProvides hypervisor-based firewall capabilities by workload (VM or container) -
4. Load BalancerProvides L4/L7 support based on S/W and load balancing of SSL features -
5. VPNProvide site-to-site and remote access of software, L2VPN, IP-Sec -
6. Virtualization Physical ConnectivityProvides routing between virtual and physical servers and a variety of form factors (VM, Bare metals)
Key Features of NSX
Data Center Architecture
VMware NSX Use Cases
1. Building a Multi-Data Center (Private Cloud)
NSX enables Software-based Overlay network configuration and provides mobility under existing infrastructure IP constraints.
Distributed services based on Hypervisor and a variety of network/security services can also be configured as a single platform.
2. Cloud Native
NSX provides containers as a single platform with L2-L7 network/security capabilities for easy configuration and operational environments. NSX provides the same services for both VM and container environments, enabling cloud native to enterprise environments without a separate solution.
3. Variety of network/security services and operations automation
NSX provides powerful, software-based networking capabilities that can help you consolidate and automate traditional L2-L7 service operations to save time and money.
4. Micro-segmentation of VDI Infrastructure Environment
Leverage discussion firewall capabilities in NSX to provide user-level different security features for VDI infrastructure environments.
