10. VMware NSX – The Platform for Network
Virtualization
Networking in Software
• Logical Switching– Layer 2 over Layer 3, decoupled
from the physical network
• Logical Routing– Routing between virtual networks
without exiting the software container
• Logical Firewall – Distributed Firewall, Kernel
Integrated, High Performance
• Logical Load Balancer – GSLB in software
• Logical VPN – Site-to-Site & Remote Access VPN in
software
• NSX API – RESTful API for integration into any Cloud
Management Platform
• Partner Eco-System

11. vCloud Networking and Security (vCNS) – Networking and
Security Capabilities of the vCloud Suite
How it works
• Edge virtual appliance providing integrated
gateways services, such as Firewall, Load Balancing,
NAT, VPN
• App vNIC level firewall
• VXLAN extended networks
• Integration with vCenter and vCloud Director
Benefits
• Simplified packaging, only available in vCloud Suites
• Improve workload mobility and compute
utilization across clusters
• Cost savings from the use of virtual appliance for
L4-L7 services instead of purpose built hardware.
• Meet compliance goals with ability to isolate critical
applications in a shared infrastructure
