VMWARE NSX SD-WAN Velocloud Basics & NSX-T

What is SD-WAN ? 
Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is an overlay architecture that overcomes the biggest drawbacks of traditional 
WAN. SD-WAN builds a secure, unified connectivity over any transport (MPLS, Broadband, LTE, VSAT etc.)
and provides simplified operations with centralized management, policy control and application visibility 
across the enterprise.

Significance of Velocloud : 

From Last 2 Years in the Gartner Magic Quadrant .

One of the Most Deployed SD-WAN in Global 1000 Companies .
With SD-WAN built on the Viptela Fabric, enterprises can provide secure connectivity everywhere, deploy
new services and applications faster, and drastically simplify operational complexity in the WAN.

Part 02 NSX - T 

VMware NSX-T™ Data Center (formerly NSX-T) provides an agile software-defined infrastructure to build cloud-native application environments.

NSX-T Data Center is focused on providing networking, security, automation, and operational simplicity for emerging application frameworks and architectures that have heterogeneous endpoint environments and technology stacks. NSX-T Data Center supports cloud-native applications, bare metal workloads, multi-hypervisor environments, public clouds, and multiple clouds.

NSX-T Data Center is designed for management, operation, and consumption by development organizations. NSX-T Data Center allows IT and development teams to select the technologies best suited for their applications.

VMware NSX-T

VMware NSX-T 3.0 is the latest generation of VMware’s network virtualization product series. NSX-T is the successor to the NSX-V product. NSX-T supports third-party Hypervisors and next generation overlay encapsulation protocols such as Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve). NSX-T acts as a network Hypervisor that allows software abstraction of various network services that include logical switch (segments), logical routers (Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway), logical firewalls, logical load balancers, and logical VPNs.

• NSX Manager—Integrated management component of NSX-T, provides the functionality of controller, manager, and policy. It is installed as a virtual appliance in the vCenter server environment.

• ESXi (Transport Node)—Servers and edge nodes that have NSX-T prepared in the NSX-T data center.

• N-VDS—NSX-managed Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS), derived from VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS), de-couples the data plane from the compute manager (vCenter). It is a software abstraction layer present between servers and physical network for network connectivity. It can be created on both host and edge transport nodes and can co-exist with VMware Standard Switch (VSS) and VDS.

• Segments—Formerly known as logical switch in NSX-V, similar to VLANs, reproduces switching functionality in NSX-T environment to provide network connections between attached VMs.

• NSX Edge—Provides gateway and security services to the virtual network. It enables east-west traffic between the VMs on the same host in different subnets without accessing the physical network. It also enables north-south traffic for VMs to access the public networks.

• Service Router—Instantiated on the NSX Edge node and provides gateway functionality and services such as NAT, load balancing, and so on.

• Distributed Router—Runs as a kernel module and is embedded in all transport nodes to provide basic routing capabilities such as east-west routing and local routing inside hypervisor.

• NSX Tier-1 Gateway—Provides east-west connectivity.

• NSX Tier-0 Gateway—Provides north-south connectivity. It supports static routing, BGP dynamic routing, and equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing. It is required for traffic flow between logical and physical networks.
