Product Description

Vmware NSX-T Advanced per Processor NSX-T-ADV-C

VMware NSX-T Advanced is a network virtualization and security platform designed to provide advanced networking and security features for modern data centers and multi-cloud environments. By offering software-defined networking (SDN), NSX-T Advanced helps organizations securely connect applications, workloads, and infrastructure in both private and public clouds. This solution is suitable for large-scale enterprises seeking to streamline network operations, automate security policies, and enable agile network management.

With NSX-T Advanced per Processor licensing, organizations can scale and manage network services and security features across their virtualized and containerized environments, regardless of whether they are running on-premise or in the cloud. This per-processor licensing model is ideal for those with large, enterprise-level workloads and a need for comprehensive network virtualization.

Key Features:

• Software-Defined Networking (SDN): NSX-T Advanced allows for the creation of a virtualized network infrastructure that decouples the network from physical hardware, providing flexibility and agility in network management. It supports network automation, creating an elastic and scalable environment that is ideal for cloud-native workloads.
• Advanced Security: Includes distributed firewalling, security policies, micro-segmentation, and threat intelligence, allowing organizations to segment their network and apply granular security controls. This is essential for protecting against lateral movement within the data center or cloud environment.
• Multi-Cloud Networking: NSX-T Advanced supports both private and public cloud environments, including VMware vSphere, VMware Cloud on AWS, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and others. It offers consistent networking and security policies across on-premises and public cloud environments, simplifying hybrid and multi-cloud operations.
• Network Virtualization for Containers: Supports containerized applications and Kubernetes environments with integrated networking features, helping organizations manage networking across containers, virtual machines, and physical devices in the same unified environment.
• Advanced Load Balancing: Offers built-in advanced load balancing capabilities that provide high availability and traffic management for applications across multiple locations.
• Unified Management and Automation: Through the NSX Manager interface, NSX-T Advanced enables centralized network management, provisioning, and automation of network services. NSX-T integrates with VMware vRealize Automation and vRealize Orchestrator to automate processes across the network.
• Routing and Switching: Supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and RIP, offering flexibility in how organizations design their networks, whether on-premise or in the cloud. It also supports logical switching, VLAN support, and virtual routers.
• NSX Intelligence and Monitoring: NSX-T Advanced includes NSX Intelligence for real-time analytics, visibility, and reporting across the network. This helps with network optimization, traffic analysis, and proactive monitoring of network security events.
• NSX Distributed Firewall: The NSX distributed firewall is a core security component of NSX-T Advanced, providing a software-based firewall that enforces security at the virtual machine (VM) or container level, ensuring that network traffic is inspected and controlled in real-time.
• High Availability and Scalability: The platform is designed for highly available and scalable deployments, ensuring that network services are available even in large-scale environments. NSX-T Advanced can be deployed in clusters for redundancy, helping ensure business continuity.

Benefits:

• Improved Network Efficiency: Through network virtualization, NSX-T Advanced eliminates the need for physical hardware-based networking appliances, resulting in reduced complexity and more efficient network management.
• Enhanced Security: Micro-segmentation and distributed firewalling provide granular security controls to limit the potential attack surface within the network. By isolating workloads, NSX-T Advanced reduces the risk of data breaches and lateral movement by unauthorized users.
• Agility and Flexibility: The solution allows for rapid provisioning of network services, enabling agile development and operational workflows. It also ensures that security policies can be applied consistently across the entire network, regardless of the underlying infrastructure.
• Multi-Cloud Consistency: NSX-T Advanced’s ability to operate seamlessly across private and public clouds ensures that network security policies and configurations remain consistent across hybrid cloud environments, simplifying multi-cloud operations and migrations.
• Simplified Network Management: With NSX Manager and integration with vRealize Automation, administrators can streamline network management tasks and automate network provisioning, reducing the manual effort required to configure network services.
• Centralized Monitoring: The inclusion of NSX Intelligence provides centralized visibility into network activity and security events, helping IT teams to proactively identify and respond to potential issues.
