End-to-end Transparency

Network and security portfolio for cloud computing

It is used for consistent and simplified software-as-a-service usage Multi-
Serve cloud networking, security, workload mobility, and end-to-end threat detection and response with a centralized cloud console. This family of services includes network and security policy management, network discovery and response (NDR), network visibility and analysis (NSX Intelligence), advanced load balancing (ALB), and workload mobility (HCX) for private cloud environments and VMware cloud deployments.

With the update to NSX 4.0.1.0 and VMware vSphere 8, the networking and security features of VMware NSX can now be deployed - on Data Processing Units (DPUs, also known as SmartNICs) connected to the host hypervisor. Offloading NSX services to the DPU accelerates networking and security functions without burdening the host CPUs. This meets the needs of modern applications and other network-intensive and latency-sensitive applications.

Examining traffic through network taps is no longer sufficient. Distributed cloud architectures create fuzziness. VMware's architecture allows customers to see processes running at the endpoint, data packets traversing the network, access points, and the inner workings of both traditional and modern applications. This allows them to detect threats that are not visible to others. As part of this announcement, VMware is strengthening its lateral security capabilities.
