What Is Network Virtualization?• Moves network intelligence out
of hardware and into software
• Turns the underlying physical network into a simple packet-forwarding backplane
• Distributes network and security services in software via a hypervisor

With Network Virtualization, You Can…• Provision and change virtual networks in minutes
• Avoid the time and hassle of reconfiguration
• Secure your data center from the inside out with micro-segmentation

How Network Virtualization Works• A software container presents logical
network and security services to connected workloads
• Services include logical switching, logical routing, logical firewalling, logical load balancing, and more
• Network and security services require only IP packet forwarding from the underlying physical network

It’s Faster with SoftwareOn hardware-centric networks, provisioning or changing a network takes days or weeks.
In a virtualized network, these same tasks take only minutes or seconds.

INTRODUCTION | VMWARE NSX | MICRO-SEGMENTATION | CASE STUDIES | CONCLUSION
When You Provision A Virtual Network:• A cloud management platform requests
network and security services
• The controller distributes and logically attaches services to the corresponding workloads
• The network can move freely through the data center

Get on Board—or Get Left BehindNetwork virtualization is an important step for organizations to take on their journey to the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC).
It can simplify everyday operations, heighten security, and free up more time for IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives—without going over budget.
