1 3 Ways Businesses Use Network Virtualization A Faster Path to Improved Security, Automated IT, and App Continuity

2 INTRODUCTION 2 Today s IT Environments Are Demanding Technology has made exciting leaps forward in recent years, and the data center has become increasingly sophisticated. But with a growing volume of disparate data, applications, and users, things can get complicated fast. Most organizations have a mix of virtual and legacy solutions that don t always work together how or when they should. This can result in outages, downtime, and slower time to market for mission-critical apps. And that s not all other challenges include: Slow network provisioning Limited workload placement and mobility Complex hardware limitations and rigid lock-ins Manual, slow, and error-prone configuration processes Rising OpEx and CapEx Inability to leverage hybrid cloud resources Inadequately secured networks What can IT do to get around these issues?

3 NETWORK VMWARE NSX VIRUALIZATION BASICS 3 The Trusted Platform for Network Virtualization The majority of organizations have already embraced compute and storage virtualization for the data center, and the network is next in line. As the leading network virtualization platform, VMware NSX is the ideal choice for this transformation. NSX gives IT teams the tools they need to deliver services at the speed of business, while staying in compliance with security requirements. With NSX, network functions are produced in software instead of hardware, enabling a level of agility that simply isn t possible with legacy architecture. It s not all-or-nothing Best of all, organizations that aren t ready to virtualize the entire network can take things at their own pace. IT teams can identify which areas need help most, and slowly extend virtualization to other parts of the network as time and budget permit.

4 NETWORK VMWARE NSX VIRUALIZATION BASICS 4 NSX in Action NSX isn t just a smart concept. Organizations are putting it to work and seeing exciting results. In fact, NSX is so powerful that some enterprises can justify the cost based on just one use case. Here are the top three ways businesses use NSX: IMPROVING DATA CENTER SECURITY AUTOMATING IT PROCESSES ENABLING APP CONTINUITY Let s take a closer look at each one.

5 5 DATA CENTER SECURITY Defend Against Modern Threats The modern data center is fast, smart, and sophisticated and so are the threats to its security. Traditional perimeter security isn t enough to stop attacks. Malware and viruses use legitimate access points or weaknesses in the perimeter to enter the data center, making them difficult to detect and even harder to stop from entering and spreading laterally throughout the data center. And with so much sensitive data at stake, a successful attack could spell disaster even for well-established organizations. VMware NSX doesn t just improve on traditional security endeavors. It completely changes the game, with robust, fine-grained security policies. With NSX, security is built into the DNA of the data center, so even if an attack gets through the perimeter, it can be quickly identified and stopped before it spreads. Here s how NSX improves security: Micro-segmentation Secure User Environments DMZ Anywhere

6 DATA CENTER SECURITY 6 Security Advantage #1: Network Security Inside the Data Center with Micro-segmentation Micro-segmentation stops threats from moving laterally throughout the data center, but until now, it hasn t been operationally feasible. It would be cost-prohibitive for most organizations to purchase and maintain enough traditional or virtual firewalls to keep every virtual machine safely isolated. Once the perimeter has been breached, threats move from workload to workload, largely uninhibited. For the first time, NSX enables operationally feasible micro-segmentation inside the data center. Here s how: Segmentation For the first time, fine-grained threat isolation, segmentation, and centralized control are all possible inside the data center. Automation Firewalling policies are provisioned when a workload is created. Those policies follow the workload no matter where it goes. And when the workload is deleted, so are its associated security policies, preventing the accumulation of stale firewall rules. Integration By moving the data center to software, NSX creates a common networking and security platform that enables security services from multiple vendors to be integrated, delivering more effective, robust security. The end result: a network that is inherently more secure, even in case of a breach. Data Center Perimeter INTERNET

7 DATA CENTER SECURITY 7 Security Advantage #2: Secure User Environments More users access applications from virtual desktops, which creates new security vulnerabilities. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) extends the same security policies and advantages used in the data center to desktop or mobile environments. With NSX, each virtual desktop is individually secured. This means that east-west traffic can be secured, both to and from individual virtual machines. If one user gets infected or compromised, the threat can be easily contained and won t spread to other users, or affect the data center. Integrates key security capabilities Eliminates complex policy sets Simplifies administration

8 DATA CENTER SECURITY 8 Security Advantage #3: DMZ Anywhere The flexibility NSX brings to the table is an asset everywhere but perhaps nowhere is that flexibility more apparent than in DMZ Anywhere. Here, NSX assigns security to individual workloads so that advanced security services and Internet access can be applied and controlled for any system in the data center, regardless of its location within the network. A DMZ can be quickly and easily defined Security is customized based on the attributes of the workload itself Data Center Perimeter INTERNET Policies are not tied to the underlying physical network topology The bottom line: Establishing a data center DMZ is no longer restricted to a specific place in the network. It s truly possible to secure and establish a DMZ anywhere. DMZ

9 9 AUTOMATING IT PROCESSES Boost Efficiency and Innovation IT teams always have a full workload. Unfortunately, some of the most mundane tasks are also the most time-consuming. This means IT admins are spending valuable time and money completing routine processes that could be better spent focusing on innovation. And even the most seasoned IT professionals make mistakes sometimes, resulting in outages, unexpected downtime, and costly fixes. How can you get past this roadblock? NSX can help in these ways: IT Automating IT Developer Cloud Multi-tenant infrastructure

10 AUTOMATING IT PROCESSES 10 Automation Advantage #1: IT Automating IT NSX helps take the burden off IT and eliminates the human error factor. IT teams can standardize and maintain predefined templates with network topologies and services so they can provision consistent environments in seconds instead of hours or days. IT automation with NSX lets you achieve the following benefits: Reduce operational expenses. By automating routine manual tasks, you can free up key resources to focus on more strategic priorities. Accelerate time to market. With the ability to provision networks on demand, you can develop, test, and deploy new applications faster than ever before. Speed IT service delivery. By moving network services to software, you can respond to the needs of your business users more quickly and efficiently. reduce cycle time by 22 days 1 1. VMware Business Case WP: Network Virtualization and Security with VMware NSX 2015

11 AUTOMATING IT PROCESSES 11 Automation Advantage #2: Developer Cloud Self-service developer clouds give developers access to the infrastructures they need, without putting a strain on IT resources. NSX is a great platform for developer cloud, in addition to other Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) initiatives. With NSX, you can: Provide access to necessary infrastructure. Provision thousands of isolated networks for development, testing, and staging environments. Align networks with workloads. Remove the manual tasks and cycling time associated with procuring, installing, and configuring network infrastructure. Provision network infrastructure faster. Eliminate bottlenecks and remove delays in bringing applications and upgrades to market.

12 AUTOMATING IT PROCESSES 12 Automation Advantage #3: Multi-Tenant Infrastructure Micro-segmentation and isolation isn t just for security. You can apply it to multi-tenant cloud environments as well. NSX maintains isolation between tenants in a multi-tenant environment, so they can run on the same IP address in the same physical infrastructure without conflict. The virtual networks are invisible to each other; they can ignore each other and the underlying physical network. Need a broader solution? Add advanced services to a virtual network, network segment, or security group.

13 13 ENABLING APP CONTINUITY Maintain Application Continuity Applications are becoming increasingly important across industries, and making sure they remain available is an imperative. Downtime, delays, and performance lags can cause disruption and wreak havoc across the business. But network virtualization can help you keep your apps running consistently even if the unexpected occurs. NSX provides continuity with: Disaster recovery Metro Pooling Hybrid cloud networking Primary Data Center Secondary Data Center

14 ENABLING APP CONTINUITY 14 App Continuity Advantage #1: Disaster Recovery You don t have to replace your existing DR solution just use NSX as a complement to it. NSX replicates your network and its security environment, so all you have to do is snapshot the network construct and maintain a copy at your recovery site, where it remains ready to implement almost instantly. NSX provides confidence when you need it most: Protection without complication. Since the virtual network is independent of the underlying hardware and topology, you won t even have to change IP addresses. Intelligent use of resources. With the ability to draw resources across multiple data centers, NSX ensures that a failure in one area doesn t spell doom for your apps. Rapid time to recovery. Because network and security policies are synchronized across primary and DR sites, you can recover from a disaster much faster.

15 ENABLING APP CONTINUITY 15 App Continuity Advantage #2: Metro Pooling NSX makes it possible to combine compute resources for maximum efficiency and better availability. Shared resources are treated as a unified pool, allowing you to seamlessly connect applications deployed from any location. Metro pooling with NSX is smartly designed: Each pool of resources maintains its own SLAs and QoS rules. Apps run without disruption, even as demand fluctuates. Can be used throughout a single data center or across data centers.

16 ENABLING APP CONTINUITY 16 App Continuity Advantage #3: Hybrid Cloud Networking If you extend your on-site network to the public cloud, NSX is a great networking choice. You can get secure access to IT resources, and move resources on- or off-site as your needs change. Best of all, you can use NSX with any cloud management platform. NSX helps you compete with: Two-way app portability. Securely move applications from on-premises data centers to the public cloud and back again. Better network manageability. Familiar management tools let you maintain security across the hybrid cloud for faster time to market.
