The VMware NSX network virtualization platform provides the critical third pillar of VMware’s Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) architecture. NSX network virtualization delivers for networking what VMware has already delivered for compute and storage.
In much the same way that server virtualization allows operators to programmatically create, snapshot, delete and restore software-based virtual machines (VMs) on demand, NSX enables virtual networks to be created, saved and deleted and restored on demand without requiring any reconfiguration of the physical network.
The result fundamentally transforms the data center network operational model, reduces network provisioning time from days or weeks to minutes and dramatically simplifies network operations.
NSX is a non-disruptive solution that is deployed on any IP network, including existing data center network designs or next generation fabric architectures from any networking vendor. With NSX, you already have the physical network infrastructure you need to deliver a software defined data center.
