Recently, we had a customer challenge our team to prove to them the operational gains and demonstrate the cross-functional tooling VMware provides to assist them in scaling from zero to hundreds of VMs on the platform. Our goal was simple – exhibit a complete lifecycle for any customer to go from evaluation to production operation thereby enabling customer operations. The result was a video summary demoing our enhanced tooling that complements our simple three-step workflow: environmental assessment, plan and enforcement, and then continuous monitoring.
Understanding your environment is crucial in today’s modern world of IT – and is especially key at the early stages of identifying an easy to implement micro-segmentation plan. We’ve made this process very easy (even if you don’t have NSX in your environment yet!). VMware offers the free VMware Virtual Network Assessment that will take that identified traffic and start to make suggested firewall and security recommendations.
