In this video, VMware demonstrates how the Multi-Session Identity Firewall feature in NSX for vSphere 6.4 enables per user-session security for customers use Remote Desktop Services through VMware Horizon RDSH or Citrix XenApp.

Augmenting the existing Identity Firewall feature, Multi-Session Identity Firewall in NSX for vSphere 6.4 leverages User Context in order to differentiate users that may be connected to the same session host and apply the appropriate security policy for each user.

This guide highlights design and deployment considerations when using NSX to implement network virtualization, create a secure end user environment, and
load balance Horizon infrastructure.


The intended audience is virtualization, networking, and security architects who are interested in deploying Horizon for virtual desktops and NSX in a vSphere
environment. Solid conceptual understanding and hands-on experience with both NSX-v and Horizon products is recommended for successfully understanding this design guide. 

The NSX Troubleshooting Guide describes how to monitor and troubleshoot the VMware NSX for vSphere system by using the NSX Manager user interface, the vSphere Web Client, and other NSX components, as needed.

This manual is intended for anyone who wants to use or troubleshoot any problem for NSX in a VMware vCenter environment.

The information in this manual is written for experienced system administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and virtual datacenter operations.

This manual assumes familiarity with VMware vSphere, including VMware ESXi, vCenter Server, and the vSphere Web Client.

VMware vSphere 6.5 addresses the operational and security challenges by leveraging the hypervisor to perform the encryption with no modification to the VM. The security architecture of VMware ESXi achieves this goal at the hypervisor layer. 



In this document, Mike Foley elaborates on how the security architecture and controls of vSphere VM encryption address the concerns of the security team while providing the IT operations team with the necessary tools to minimize impact on day-to-day operations.
