The advantages a software-defined data center, using network virtualization as a core underpinning, include service delivery speed, operational efficiency, reduced hardware dependency and lower cost. However, by far the most popular use case by customers thus far has been the use of NSX for network microsegmentation. Why? Because perimeter-centric network security has proven insufficient, and micro-segmentation has to date been operationally and economically infeasible. With NSX, security teams, in partnership with their network and virtualization teams, are benefiting from network micro-segmentation to begin to transform their data center security architecture. Then read the VMware SDDC Micro-Segmentation White Paper.
