Complete portfolio of Layer 2-7 virtual networking and security solutions that
deliver innovative software-based capabilities for switching, routing, firewalling,
intrusion prevention and intrusion detection systems, network detection and
response, load balancing, service mesh and SD-WAN for enterprise and Telco
environments. These networking solutions enable customers to connect and
protect all workloads running on bare metal, in containers, on virtual machines
and across data centers, multi-cloud environments and the distributed edge.
Adoption of VMware networking solutions is driven by customers who are
replacing legacy, hardware-based network and security infrastructure, such as
physical firewalls and load balancers and expensive dedicated wide-area network
links.
Key products within our Networking portfolio include:
VMware NSX
Our network virtualization platform that abstracts physical
networks to greatly simplify customers’ provisioning and consumption of
networking and security resources. NSX can be layered into any
environment, integrates with many automation, security and container
solutions and is a foundational part of our key offerings, such as VMware
Cloud Foundation.
NSX Distributed and Gateway Firewalls
A zone firewall and a software defined Layer 7 firewall that are purpose-built to help secure multi-cloud traffic across virtualized workloads. They provide stateful firewalling with intrusion detection and prevention, sandboxing, network traffic analysis
and network detection and response to provide complete visibility into applications and workload flows with policy automation that are linked to workload lifecycles.
NSX Network Detection and Response
An AI-based threat correlation and
forensics engine, delivered as either standalone or integrated tightly within
NSX, that helps network security and security operations teams efficiently
detect malicious activity and block lateral movement of sophisticated
threats.
NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi)
Provides consistent, multi-cloud load
balancing, web application firewall and application insights across data
centers and public clouds for virtual machines, container and bare-metal
workloads.
Tanzu Service Mesh
Provides end-to-end operational visibility, control and security for distributed cloud-native applications, across end-users,
applications and data, on any platform or cloud.
VMware SASE, a cloud-native platform that converges cloud networking and
cloud security into one holistic solution. Regardless of the location of users and
applications, VMware SASE provides unified secure access from a single
management platform. Organizations use VMware SASE to provide their users
with more reliable, optimal and secure access to any application in on-premises,
public cloud and edge environments. The VMware SASE platform includes
VMware SD-WAN, which delivers high-performance, reliable and more secure
access to cloud services, private data centers and SaaS-based enterprise
applications for remote workers and branch locations; VMware Secure Access, a
cloud-hosted solution that secures and optimizes corporate network and
application access for remote and mobile users based on a Zero Trust Network
Access framework; and VMware Cloud Web Security, a cloud-hosted service that
protects users and infrastructure accessing SaaS and Internet applications from
evolving threats, offers visibility into and control over internet and SaaS
application usage and enables compliance with administered security access
rights. These services can be sold individually or together for the full VMware
SASE solution.
