The next big shift in your data center
The next big shift in your data center VMware NSX with HPE
Transforming to a hybrid infrastructure enables IT to deliver a new experience to the business – Deliver new services faster and be a service provider to my lines of business. – Spend more time developing and improving applications. – Flexible application deployment options (offand on-premises).
Data center architectural approaches SDDC/network virtualization enables a new operating model Software-defined – Intelligence in software (abstraction) – Automated, VM-based operating model – Physical/virtual integration Compute virtualization Storage virtualization Network virtualization Legacy networking operational models have held customers back Virtualization layer Hardware-defined – Intelligence in hardware (monolithic) SDDC visionary alignment OS-integrated features – Dedicated, vendor-specific infrastructure Proprietary OS – Manual configuration (CLI) and management Proprietary hardware 3

The NSX distributed service platform dynamically inserts and orchestrates advanced networking and security services into the SDDC Moves networking to software Lets you move workloads seamlessly The NSX™ network virtualization platform is helping hundreds of customers realize the full potential of a software-defined data center (SDDC). NSX moves networking to software, creating never-before-seen levels of flexibility. It fundamentally transforms the data center’s network operational model like server virtualization did 10 years ago. NSX moves virtual machines and all of their associated networks and security policies between data centers in just minutes. It avoids any interruption to the running application, enabling active-active data centers and immediate disaster recovery options. Enables network micro-segmentation Integrates with third-party products NSX brings security inside the data center with automated, finegrained policies tied to the virtual machines (VMs). It enables micro-segmentation to significantly reduce the lateral spread of threats inside the data center. By making network microsegmentation operationally feasible, NSX brings an inherently better security model to the data center. NSX provides a platform for bringing the industry’s leading networking and security solutions into the SDDC. By taking advantage of tight integration with the NSX platform, third-party products can not only deploy automatically as needed, but also adapt dynamically to changing conditions in the data center. The equivalent of a network hypervisor transforms data center economics, dramatically improving security and simplifying operations 6
