Overview/Description
The architecutre of VMware NSX enables it to overcome many challenges and bottlenecks of traditional physical networks. This course covers the benefits of NSX, its architecture, and different network and security technologies used. It goes on to contrast physical and logical network topologies, and finishes with a discussion on integration with third party products and services. This course is one of a series of Skillsoft courses that cover the objectives for VMware certification exam VCA-NV: VMware Certified Professional – Network Virtualization.
