Nsx-v end of life announcement

Supporting NSX-V customers while delivering on NSX-T's roadmap became difficult for VMware, so in 2018 VMware announced the NSX-V End of Support Life (EOS) date of January 16, 2022, and the end of technical guidance of January 16, 2023.

What is the lifecycle of NSX-V?

VMware® support for all new VMware NSX-V deployments ended on 16 January 2022. Beginning on 21 June 2022, you can no longer order new VMware vCenter Server® with NSX-V instances. However, VMware and IBM worked closely to extend the existing NSX–V support until 31 December 2023.

When was NSX-V released?

VMware released NSX-V in 2012 after it acquired Nicira. VMware incorporated Nicira Network Virtualization Platform with its own vCloud Networking and Security. NSX-V is designed to extend the capabilities of vSphere. It requires a vCenter Server and ESXi hosts.

Can NSX-V and NSX-T coexist?

Some customers choose to introduce NSX-T alongside NSX-V. They can coexist and even connect to the same vCenter if the workloads are in different clusters.

Why NSX-T is better than NSX-V?

It is designed for different virtualization platforms and multi-hypervisor environments and can also be used where NSX-v is not feasible to deploy. NSX-T supports network virtualization stack for KVM, Docker, Kubernetes and OpenStack as well as AWS native workloads.

What is the difference between NSX-V and NSX-T?

VMware NSX requires multiple tools to cover the entire hybrid data center environment. This means NSX-V for ESXi hosts, NSX-T for bare-metal servers, and NSX-Cloud for VMware cloud hosting.

What does NSX-V stand for?

This became the mainstream VMware NSX-V. The “V” in the NSX-V solution stands for “vSphere.” VMware NSX-V is a vSphere-only solution. It is VMware's software-defined networking platform supported to run in a vSphere environment. Currently, the solution is marketed as NSX Data Center for vSphere.

What are the benefits of NSX V?

NSX-V offers rich features such as deployment reconfiguration, rapid provisioning, and destruction of any on-demand virtual network. This allows a single virtual switch to connect to multiple hosts in a cluster by utilizing the vSphere distributed switch.

Why upgrade from NSX-V to NSX-T?

Without the flexibility, NSX-V keeps you from expanding your environment to more than a single on-premises vCenter infrastructure. NSX-T and its dynamic nature let you expand to the cloud, integrate into a container environment, or have NSX across multiple hypervisors.

Is NSX part of VCF?

VCF is based on different components like vSphere (compute), vSAN (storage), NSX (networking), and some parts of the Aria Suite (formerly vRealize Suite). The idea of VCF follows a standardized, automated, and validated approach that simplifies the management of all the needed software-defined infrastructure resources.

Why is Acura NSX not selling?

Being one of the most well-engineered Japanese cars, the NSX was too time-consuming and non-profitable to make. During its production, which started in 2016 and was cut from the roster in 2021, Acura only sold 1,510 NSXs in the U.S. This would not be very pleasant for any car manufacturer.

Does NSX use Vxlan?

VMware NSX-V uses VXLAN for the network overlay encapsulation technology. It allows creating isolated multi-tenant broadcast domains and enables customers to have the ability to create logical networks that span between physical networks and underlying network locations.

What is NSX-V to T migration?

NSX-T has Migration Coordinator built in to do all the dirty work. The tool transforms your NSX-V infrastructure into NSX-T on the same hardware using the GUI. Moreover, you can also transfer your current configuration from NSX-V. Migration Coordinator has been available for some time now, since NSX-T version 2.4.

What is VMware NSX-V to NSX-T?

VMware NSX-v is specific to vSphere hypervisor environments and was developed before NSX-T. NSX-T (NSX-Transformers) was designed for different virtualization platforms and multi-hypervisor environments and can also be used in cases where NSX-v is not applicable.

Is NSX part of VCF?

Does NSX support Hyper V?

For routing, NSX-T supports equal-cost multipath routing (ECMP) for increased bandwidth and availability. Admins can enable the Hyper-V Network Virtualization role on Hyper-V hosts. Microsoft also offers a Network Controller role that admins can run in a VM that's running on a Hyper-V host.
