VMware NSX
VMware NSX, short for “VMware Network and Security for vSphere,” is a comprehensive network virtualization and security platform developed by VMware, Inc. It is designed to transform traditional data center networking by decoupling network services and security policies from physical infrastructure and providing them in a software-defined manner. It is particularly valuable in complex and dynamic environments where traditional networking approaches may be insufficient to meet the demands of modern applications and workloads.
