Introducing VMware NSX-T Reference Design
Available now is the VMware NSX-T Reference Design Guide, a deployment path to adopting NSX with diverse multi-domain workload requirements – multi-cloud (private/public), multi-hypervisor, and multiple application frameworks (VMs, PaaS and containers).
Since VMware acquired Nicira almost five years ago, NSX for vSphere has become de-facto standard for private cloud solutions, delivering key use cases in private cloud – namely security, automation and application continuity. Since then, we’ve witnessed our customers datacenter and workload requirements changing; therefore, the demand for a platform that not only can deliver current private cloud requirements, but now many enterprises are looking for integration with the likes of cloud native apps, public/hybrid cloud, and other compute domains covering multiple hypervisors.
VMware NSX-T was introduced last year to meet the demands of the containerized workload, multi-hypervisor and multi-cloud. The NSX-T platform is focused on a diverse set of use cases – from private to public, traditional (multi-tiered architecture) to container (microservices architecture) based apps, automation and monitoring of security at IaaS, to programmatic devops workloads in PaaS and CaaS environments. It is very important to start with an understanding of NSX-T architecture and its components, and some topics (ex. routing) have been discussed Continue reading

Reaction: The Pace of Innovation
Dave Ward has an excellent article over at the Cisco blog on the three year journey since he started down the path of trying to work the standards landscape (called SDOs) to improve the many ways in which these organizations are broken. Specifically, he has been trying to connect the open source and open standards communities better—a path I heartily endorse, as I have been intentionally trying to work in both communities in parallel over the last several years, and find places where I can bring them together.
While the entire blog is worth reading, there are two lines I think need some further thought. The first of this is a bit of a scold, so be prepared to have your knuckles rapped.
My real bottom line here is that innovators can’t go faster than their customers and customers can’t go faster than their own understanding of the technology and integration, deployment and operational considerations.
Precisely. Maybe this is just an old man talking, but I sometimes want to scold the networking industry on this very point. We fuss about innovation, but innovation requires customers who understand the technology—and the networking world has largely become a broad set of meta-engineers, Continue reading

Why hiring the ‘best’ people produces the least creative results — Quartz
The complexity of modern problems often precludes any one person from fully understanding them. Factors contributing to rising obesity levels, for example, include transportation systems and infrastructure, media, convenience foods, changing social norms, human biology and psychological factors. Designing an aircraft carrier, to take another example, requires knowledge of nuclear engineering, naval architecture, metallurgy, hydrodynamics, […]
