New Model for IT
VMware NSX is a network virtualization and security platform that helps organizations transform their data centers into software-defined data centers (SDDCs). NSX addresses key IT challenges around speed, agility, and security by reproducing network functions like switching, routing, and firewalling in software. This allows infrastructure to be virtualized, pooled, and delivered on demand, reducing provisioning time for new networks from weeks to minutes. NSX also enables micro-segmentation for security between workloads in the data center and automation of network provisioning to reduce manual errors and accelerate service delivery. Studies show SDDCs using NSX deliver annual cost savings of 56% on provisioning/management and up to 88% on capital expenditures
