3 What is Network Virtualization (NV)? Network Virtualization is an approach which provides a flexible virtual network atop an existing physical network infrastructure using an overlay technology NV helps automate network configuration while provisioning applications/tenants NV provides a scalable, multi-tenant virtual network via overlay technology Physical Network Virtual Overlay Network VSwitch VM VM VM VSwitch VM VM VM VSwitch VM VM VM Application VMs running on virtualized servers 3

4 The Importance of the Underlay Network Infrastructure must be reliable to support virtualization and software-enabled networking High performance with low latency to ensure optimal application performance Convergence-ready for storage traffic FCoE, iscsi, NAS Elimination of manual configurations wherever possible Application aware to truly integrate and not just provide plumbing NSX - VM aware Programmatic Orchestration Overlay Automation Resiliency Agility 4
