Honored to be included among the very smart crew of folks who champion the need for SDN on the VMware NSX-v and NSX-t platforms!  Such a great team of people and always great to work with the NBSU at VMware (@VMWareNSX).

I love having NSX discussions with folks.  If you want to connect hit me up here on LinkedIn or on twitter @VirtSecurity.

At @ConnectionIT I am able to work with another fine VMware vExpert @MBLeib who also happens to be a VMware vExpert NSX member also.  If you haven’t gotten the understanding about what NSX and SDN can do for you ask your @ConnectionIT Account Manager to reach out to one of us.

I get excited to imagine what will be released next week while at @VMworld in Las Vegas.  I hope there will be further information on how NSX/SDN will be used in systems like #IoT and even down to endpoints with products like AirWatch.  Eventually we all will have to move off rule based firewall systems and onto policy based engines that will work throughout our corporate infrastructure no matter where we are connecting from.  Sometimes we just get focused on just the Data Center or even the edge of the Data Center and the DMZ where the largest amount of attacks happen but we need to look holistically into where all the traffic moves and most of this is East/West bound in between our VMs inside the rack servers/blade servers/HCI/converged infrastructure.  If we don’t how will we react not just when or if a breach happens or even more likely a badly configured application/buggy app is let loose.

Let’s keep the discussion going!

Here is a list of the other VMware vExperts for NSX.
