This comprehensive, fast-paced training course focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware NSX. NSX is a software networking and security virtualization platform that delivers the operational model of a virtual machine for the network. Virtual networks reproduce the layer 2–layer 7 network model in software, enabling complex multitier network topologies to be created and provisioned programmatically in seconds.
NSX also provides a new model for network security where security profiles are distributed to and enforced by virtual ports and move with virtual machines. For advanced course options, go to www.vmware.com/education.
