  2. Agenda •  Who is this guy? •  Network virtualization with

    VMware NSX: the story so far •  Where do we go from here? •  Questions and answers
  3. Who is this guy? •  Engineering Architect in VMware’s Network

    & Security Business Unit (NSBU) •  Author (7 books so far) •  Blogger (10 years at http://blog.scottlowe.org) •  Speaker (VMworld, Interop, VMUG events worldwide) •  All-around geek 3
  4. NSX customer and business momentum organizations have invested $1M+ in

    NSX 65+ NSX Customers 700+ production deployments (adding 25-50 per quarter) 100+
  5. NSX in open source environments organizations contributing to Open vSwitch

    60 of NSX production deployments use OpenStack 20% KVM VMs in a single NSX deployment 100k+
  6. Virtual Machines Physical Network Infrastructure Internet Network virtualization with VMware

    NSX today Virtual machines Physical network infrastructure Internet Virtual infrastructure Application demands •  Many different applications •  Different compliance and security needs •  Frequent change Hardware complexity •  Multiple vendors •  Different architectures •  Multiple locations NSX network virtualization •  Speed and automation •  Agility •  Security and policy
  7. Major NSX use cases Intra-Datacenter Micro-Segmentation DMZ Anywhere Secure User

    Environments Security IT Automating IT Developer Clouds Multi-tenant Infrastructure Agility Disaster Recovery Metro Pooling Hybrid Cloud Networking Application Continuity
  8. Overlay-to-VLAN gateway functionality •  Overlays allow NSX to decouple logical

    networks from the physical network •  The overlay-to-VLAN gateway allows communication between logical and physical networks Physical Network, VLAN-backed segments VM NSX Logical Network, VXLAN/STT/Geneve tunnels VXLAN ßà VLAN gateway Physical Workload
  9. Overlay-to-VLAN gateway form factors VXLAN/STT/ Geneve VLAN x86-based bridge Physical

    Workloads VXLAN VLAN Physical Workloads Leverages x86 server Highest density and throughput with partner HW HW VTEP
  10. Why distributed network services? 15 Scale out of network services

    Apply services at the vNIC for very granular control Unprecedented visibility
