Software Defined Networking with VMware NSX

NSX is VMware's networking platform that allows networks and services to be deployed programmatically and is a crucial component in software-defined data centers.

This video course provides step-by-step instructions to help you quickly deploy SDN in production and perform network virtualization with VMware. It will help you install and configure NSX and show you how to deploy NSX on top of your existing physical network and gain control of every aspect of network components (switches and routers) and your connected IT workloads.

The next section covers how to deploy and configure VxLAN-based switches and manage and configure network and gateway services. Finally, you will learn how to use NSX to secure your environment. After finishing this course, you will be able to deploy and maintain network virtualizations and automate your VMware-based infrastructure in less time and in a cost-effective manner. All this will be covered through a practical real-world example right from the start of the course.

About The Author

Matthias Eisner has dealt with company networks for 10+ years. NSX is a perfect fit for the toolbox, helping customers on their journey building a fully automated on premise cloud solution. More than two years ago, he was elected into the initial VCI team teaching NSX in the first place, together with his counterpart Yves Sandfort. Furthermore he is one of three initial Instructors also teaching NSX design. This allowed him to support big customers by creating designs for NSX and supporting them during their migration into the Software Defined Networking world to build a solid basic infrastructure supporting the journey into the SDDC.
As a VMware Certified Instructor with a network background of 20+ years, Yves Sandfort was on the initial team to teach NSX in EMEA with his counterpart Matthias Eisner. They ran some of the very early customer classes and helped also to implement some of the first proof of concepts and later on production environments in EMEA. In his second role as a VCDX for cloud and management, NSX is one of his toolkits when he designs cloud architectures for private, hybrid or public cloud environments to build a modern SDDC implementation.
