What problems is VMware NSX solving and how is that benefiting you?
As per my practical knowledge and benefits utilized in enviornment, Below are the benefits. 1) Bridging Layer 2 ‒ NSX for vSphere offers VXLAN to Layer 2 VLAN bridging capabilities. The bridge runs on the ESXi host where the distributed logical router control VM is located. Multiple bridges are supported per distributed logical router. Layer 2 bridging provides an effective means of migrating existing workloads with static IP addresses from an existing physically defined VLAN to a software-defined virtual network. However, the implementation of Layer 2 bridging increases the complexity of network troubleshooting and blurs the boundary between virtually defined networks and physically defined networks. 2) Routing Layer 3 ‒ The NSX Edge gateway interacts with the physical network in the same way as a physical routing device and has the same logical and physical properties as a physical router. From an operational perspective, this simplifies network troubleshooting and issue diagnosis compared to using the distributed logical router interface, which must instantiate a logical distributed routing interface to a single physical interface for the physical network interoperability. The NSX Edge gateway supports equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing. This provides the solution scalability to support increasing amounts of North-South traffic over time, as the number of workloads and client side traffic on the virtual networks increases. 3)It offers semmless DFW rule creation to limit the traffic from source to destinations and vice versa Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
