Consistent Networking and Security for Apps Running Natively in Public Clouds
VMware NSX Cloud delivers consistent and operationally scalable micro-segmentation security for applications running natively in public clouds, managed alongside data center resources for consistent end-to-end networking and security.
NSX Cloud Overview
Learn how NSX Cloud delivers enterprise-class capabilities and operational efficiencies to applications running natively in public clouds.
FEATURES
Multi-Cloud, Multi-Site Networking and Security
NSX Cloud brings networking and security capabilities to endpoints across multiple clouds. By integrating with NSX Data Center, it enables networking and security management across clouds and data center sites.
Micro-Segmentation
NSX Cloud provides control over East-West traffic between application workloads running natively in public clouds.
Security Groups
Security groups and rules can be defined based on rich policy constructs, such as instance name, OS type, AMI ID, and user-defined tags.
Dynamic Policy
Security policy is automatically applied and enforced based on instance attributes and user-defined tags. Policies automatically follow instances when they are moved within and across clouds.
Quarantine Instances
You can quarantine rogue and compromised workloads that are running in the public cloud without micro-segmentation security. Quarantined instances are prevented from communicating on the cloud network.
Distributed Architecture
A distributed firewalling architecture eliminates additional network hops and traffic because policies are enforced at the virtual network interface of each instance, rather than routed through an external firewall.
Edge Firewalling
Stateful firewalling filters North-South traffic flowing between instances in virtual networks and the public Internet.
RESTful API
RESTful API and automation tools help to programmatically provision and configure networking and security infrastructure on-demand.
Templating
Use existing automation and orchestration tools to create standardized application templates, and simplify provisioning and management of networking and security services across public clouds.
East-West Traffic Visibility
Use existing Day 2 operations tools to gain visibility into East-West traffic within and across virtual private clouds.
Security Logging
Gain real-time visibility and auditing of security events such as allows/denies and quarantine incidents. Send security event information to a Syslog or SIEM server.
News and Highlights
BENEFITS
Consistent Security Across Clouds
Define a security policy once and apply to workloads anywhere – across virtual networks, regions, availability zones, and multiple private data centers and public clouds.
Precise Control Over Cloud Networking
Control cloud networking topologies, traffic flows, IP addressing, and protocols used within and across multiple public clouds.
End-to-End Operational Control and Visibility
NSX Cloud provides standard interfaces and APIs to plug into your existing operations tools to enable deep, end-to-end visibility for monitoring, troubleshooting and auditing across data centers and clouds.
