In a prior post, Multi-site with Cross-VC NSX: Consistent Security and Micro-segmentation Across Sites, we discussed how Cross-VC NSX provides micro-segmentation and consistent security across multiple sites. We looked at five reasons to seriously consider Cross-VC NSX for a multi-site solution in terms of security alone: centralized management, consistent security across vCenter domains/sites, security policies follow the workload(s), ease of security automation across vCenter domains/sites, and enhanced disaster recovery use case. In this post, we’ll discuss how advanced third party security services can also be leveraged in a Cross-VC NSX environment.

Cross-VC NSX for Multi-site Solutions
NSX provides a solid platform for security in general: inherent isolation via logical networks, micro-segmentation via distributed firewall, edge firewall capabilities, third party guest introspection services, third party network introspection services, and a robust security policy orchestration and automation framework.
With Cross-VC NSX, micro-segmentation and consistent security policies for workloads expands beyond a single vCenter boundary. Typically, customers who have multiple sites also have multiple vCenters – at least one vCenter Continue reading
