The new version provides customers with better tools for operating hybrid IT and multi-cloud environments. VMware unveiled this week NSX-T 3.0, the latest iteration of what has become the core of the vendor’s Virtual Cloud Network strategy. Introduced two years ago, VCN is a portfolio of products VMware offers to redesign data centers for the cloud era. Also, VCN provides technology for applying security and network policies across modernized data centers, SaaS, and applications running on pubic clouds, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. NSX-T 3.0 has many new features. One of the most noteworthy is NSX Federation. Another critical feature in NST-T 3.0 lets users extend Layer 2 through Layer 7 networking to VMware’s vSphere 7, which the company released in March. NSX-T 3.0 also delivers Layer 2-7 networking to VMware’s Tanzu product portfolio. Engineers use Tanzu to support open source Kubernetes container orchestration software on VMware infrastructure. With the NSX-T upgrade, VMware also introduced version 5.2 of vRealize Network Insight. The software suite provides network insight, automation, and management to hybrid IT and multi-cloud environments. Finally, VMware improved connectivity between a customer’s branch office and Microsoft Azure. To do that, customers can deploy VMware’s software-defined WAN in an Azure Edge Zone.
