While true for all enterprise software, when it comes to security, every organisation wants one dashboard to rule them all - to implement security policies consistently. That consistency of operation should be proper, regardless of wherever the service resides and is consumed from. NSX is no different and VMware has been working behind the scenes [...]
Today, VMware unveiled what it's calling the "Modern Network Framework for Data Center and Cloud Networking". As the name states, it's not a new networking product but is all about building a framework on top of the various networking products in the Virtual Cloud Network portfolio, that includes NSX and VMware SD-WAN etc, and defining [...]
vSphere 7.0 has brought a fundamental change - not only in how the platform is built but also how the resources that are run on top are managed, in the form of native integration of Kubernetes. Being an integral part of the platform, the underlying networking also had to be adapted accordingly and NSX 3.0 [...]
After the release of VMware vRealize Network Insight 3.7 back in March, it is time for a service update and hence, the release of VMware vRealize Network Insight 3.8. It is essentially an evolution of 3.6 but with some important features introduced or improved upon. Before talking about some of the release highlights, I'd like to [...]
With NSX 6.3, VMware is also releasing something called NSX-T. If this is the first time you're hearing about it, rest assured, you are not alone. First of all, "T" stands for "Transformers" and the version being released today is 1.1. Why? If you know/remember the history of NSX, you'll know that there existed a [...]
Finally! It's time to talk about NSX 6.3. As you can tell from minor version jump, this version has a number of new capabilities and enhancements and most of them were highly-awaited too. If you were waiting for it too, there is a good chance that it contains what you wanted. So, what's new in [...]
A couple of weeks ago, NSX 6.2.3 was released. It had a lot of coverage, both by VMware itself and many bloggers. Quite rightly so as there are many new features and some would argue that it probably could easily have been called 6.3. However, amongst all that, you could be forgiven if you missed the extension [...]
On Day 2, I got to the venue early and published my update for Day 1 of VMworld Europe 2015. Once that was done, it was time for some breakfast and lots of coffee. It is customary to start Day 2 with a General Session and this time, it was EUC (End User Computing) and NSX's [...]
Day 3 for me started with the general session. This time, I chose to sit in the blogger's area, instead of the hall, which turned out to be the right decision. Comfortable seating and a table in front meant I could use my laptop to tweet as announcements were being made. Anyway, focus for the [...]
Well, the start to day 2 wasn't too great - my laptop's WiFi broke at the wrong time! I guess there's never a right time to have a broken adapter but it's time to buy another one! Anyway, managed to get the already delayed blog post about the previous two days out that I hope you've [...]
