Migrate from VMware NSX for vSphere to NSX-T with Minimal Downtime
In order to help easily migrate from NSX for vSphere to NSX-T, with minimal downtime, the latest release of VMware NSX-T 3.0 introduces Maintenance Mode to NSX-T Migration Coordinator (a tool that has been built into NSX-T since the 2.4 release). The Migration Coordinator tool is designed to run in-place on the same hardware that is running NSX for vSphere, and swap out NSX for vSphere bits with NSX-T.
This blog post is a follow up to the previous blog, Migration from VMware NSX for vSphere to NSX-T, which covers Migration Coordinator. For more details on the Migration Process, please check out the previous blog. This blog focuses on the Maintenance Mode feature which is part of the NSX-T 3.0 release.
What is Migration Coordinator?
Migration Coordinator is a tool that runs on NSX-T Manager. Its disabled by default since migrating from NSX for vSphere to NSX should only be a one-time task.
How to Enable Migration Coordinator
To enable Migration Coordinator, simply log in to NSX Manager via SSH and run the command “start service migration-coordinator”.
Note: This command is also Continue reading

Tanium’s endpoint security meets Cloudflare for Teams
When Cloudflare first launched in 2010, network security still relied heavily on physical security. To connect to a private network, most users simply needed to be inside the walls of the office. Once on that network, users could connect to corporate applications and infrastructure.
When users left the office, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) became a bandaid to let users connect back into that office network. Administrators poked holes in their firewall that allowed traffic to route back through headquarters. The backhaul degraded user experience and organizations had no visibility into patterns and events that occurred once users were on the network.
Cloudflare Access launched two years ago to replace that model with an identity-based solution built on Cloudflare’s global network. Instead of a private network, teams secure applications with Cloudflare’s network. Cloudflare checks every request to those applications for identity, rather than IP ranges, and accelerates those connections using the same network that powers some of the world’s largest web properties.
In this zero-trust model, Cloudflare Access checks identity on every request - not just the initial login to a VPN client. Administrators build rules that Cloudflare’s network continuously enforces. Each request is evaluated for permission and logged for Continue reading

Azure Networking 101
A few weeks ago I described the basics of AWS networking, now it’s time to describe how different Azure is.
As always, it would be best to watch my Azure Networking webinar to get the details. This blog post is the abridged CliffsNotes version of the webinar (and here‘s the reason I won’t write a similar blog post for other public clouds ;).

Test your home network performance
With many people being forced to work from home, there’s increased load on consumer ISPs. You may be asking yourself: how well is my ISP performing with even more traffic? Today we’re announcing the general availability of speed.cloudflare.com, a way to gain meaningful insights into exactly how well your network is performing.
We’ve seen a massive shift from users accessing the Internet from busy office districts to spread out urban areas.
Although there are a slew of speed testing tools out there, none of them give you precise insights into how they came to those measurements and how they map to real-world performance. With speed.cloudflare.com, we give you insights into what we’re measuring and how exactly we calculate the scores for your network connection. Best of all, you can easily download the measurements from right inside the tool if you’d like to perform your own analysis.
We also know you care about privacy. We believe that you should know what happens with the results generated by this tool. Many other tools sell the data to third parties. Cloudflare does not sell your data. Performance data is collected and anonymized and is governed by the terms of Continue reading
