This book provides a broad overview of micro‐segmentation in the data center. After reading this book, you’ll have a good basic understanding of micro‐segmentation — like you’d get
from a college‐level 101 class, but far more interesting than Microbiology 101 or Microeconomics 101 (and not as difficult either)!

In the Micro-segmentation for Dummies book you’ll learn:

• How to develop an inherently secure data center with network virtualization and workload-aware granular firewalling.
• How leveraging micro-segmentation prevents the lateral spread of security threats.
• The 10 key business and functional benefits of micro-segmentation.

The vSphere Software Asset Management (vSAM) is a tool that collects and summarizes vSphere product deployment information.

It calls on vSphere APIs for deployment data and produces a PDF report that the customer can consult as a part of their infrastructure review and planning process.

This lightweight Java application runs on Windows, Linux or Mac OS.

Writing code to use VMware vSphere tags can be challenging in large-scale environments. In this technical paper, VMware discusses the scalability limits of tags, and we give some tips and tricks for writing performant tagging code in either Java or PowerShell.

While the performance results in this paper are specific to the hardware configuration and vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) configuration in our lab, the basic trends will be the same as in customer environments.

NSX-T is uniquely designed to address these requirements. An enabler of new use cases, NSX-T brings architectural enhancements, security, and operational benefits to this API-driven, modern apps world.

In this book, VMware will discuss the top use cases for migrating to NSX-T:

• Distributed applications on multicloud
• Cloud-scale networking performance, resiliency, and resource efficiency
• Intrinsic security with complete internal firewall
• Full stack networking and security for modern apps
• Multi-cloud security and governance
• Network policy automation and consistent operation

VMware will share the network designs considerations, migration best practices, and step-by-step processes used by VMware and partners to help with the migration journey to NSX-T. Although VMware cannot share some of the customer names, they are sharing the actual process details from real world migrations.
