What is NSX vShield?

Purpose. VMware vShield Endpoint lets you manage anti-virus and anti-malware policies for virtualized environments with the same management interfaces you use to secure physical infrastructure.

What is VMware vShield?

VMware vShield provides firewall protection, traffic analysis, and network perimeter services to protect your vCenter Server virtual infrastructure. vShield virtual appliance installation has been automated for most virtual datacenters.

What is the difference between ESXi and NSX?

ESXI hosts are hypervisors where VMware software is loaded. NSX solutions are build to remove all manual configurations on switches and routers. Memory over commitment and deduplication, memory ballooning, network traffic shaping, network interface card teaming etc.

What does NSX mean in VMware?

VMware NSX^® is a network virtualization platform that enables the implementation of virtual networks on physical networks and within virtual server infrastructures.

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 is NSX Manager used for?

NSX Manager provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and REST APIs for creating, configuring, and monitoring NSX-T Data Center components such as logical switches, logical routers, and firewalls. NSX Manager provides a system view and is the management component of NSX-T Data Center.

What is NSX distributed firewall?

NSX Distributed Firewall is a software-defined Layer 7 firewall enabled at each workload to segment east-west traffic and block lateral movement of threats. Its advanced threat prevention includes distributed IDS/IPS, network sandbox, network traffic analysis, and network detection and response.

What are the benefits of vShield endpoint?

vShield Endpoint enhances security with a hardened, tamper-proof secure virtual appliance (delivered by VMware partners) that uses the robust and secure hypervisor introspection capabilities in vSphere, reducing the vulnerability of the antivirus and anti-malware service itself.

Is VMware using log4j?

VMware uses log4j as well, which is why we have issued VMSA-2021-0028. However, this vulnerability also affects customer workloads. Customers need to assess their entire environment for use of log4j, in both infrastructure and workloads, and remediate it as soon as possible either through patches or workarounds.

What is vCloud used for?

VMware vCloud Suite is a combination of an enterprise-proven compute virtualization platform and a multi-cloud management solution that delivers the industry's most complete solution for building and managing multi-cloud environments based on VMware Cloud.

Does NSX require vCenter?

This newer version supports different virtualization platforms and multi-hypervisor environments. NSX-T supports various network virtualization stacks, including KVM, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenStack, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). VMware NSX-T does not require a vCenter Server.

What is NSX intelligence appliance?

VMware NSX^® Intelligence™ provides a graphical user interface to visualize the security posture and network traffic flows that have occurred in your on-premises NSX-T Data Center environment. NSX Intelligence is available for ESXi-based hosts beginning with NSX-T Data Center version 2.5.

What are three NSX manager roles?

An NSX Manager can have roles, such as primary, secondary, standalone, or transit.

What is NSX T overlay network?

The term “overlay” refers to any virtual networks created by VMware NSX. Virtual networks are created with a MAC-over-IP encapsulation called VXLAN. This encapsulation allows two VMs on the same network to talk to each other, even if the path between the VMs needs to be routed as shown in Figure 5.

What is NSX network introspection?

VMware NSX Guest Introspection is a security feature which when enabled, offloads antivirus and anti-malware agent processing to a dedicated virtual appliance (service vm's).

Why do we need VMware NSX?

Why use VMware NSX? VMware NSX delivers a complete L2-L7 networking and security virtualization platform, allowing you to manage your entire network as a single entity from a single pane of glass, enforce consistent networking and security policies, and automate and tailor the network to your needs.

What is NSX for vSphere?

NSX Data Center for vSphere provides networking and security functionality for your vSphere environment, including logical switching, logical routing, Distributed Firewall, load balancer, NAT, and VPN. NSX Data Center for vSphere is installed as a plug-in to VMware vCenter Server^®.

What is VMware intelligence?

VMware Workspace ONE® Intelligence is a cloud service built for the VMware Workspace ONE platform that provides deep insights, analytics and automation for the entire digital workspace. Together, these capabilities enhance digital user experience and strengthen security across the entire digital workspace environment.
