In this video, VMware demonstrates how the Multi-Session Identity Firewall feature in NSX for vSphere 6.4 enables per user-session security for customers use Remote Desktop Services through VMware Horizon RDSH or Citrix XenApp.

Augmenting the existing Identity Firewall feature, Multi-Session Identity Firewall in NSX for vSphere 6.4 leverages User Context in order to differentiate users that may be connected to the same session host and apply the appropriate security policy for each user.

This guide highlights design and deployment considerations when using NSX to implement network virtualization, create a secure end user environment, and
load balance Horizon infrastructure.


The intended audience is virtualization, networking, and security architects who are interested in deploying Horizon for virtual desktops and NSX in a vSphere
environment. Solid conceptual understanding and hands-on experience with both NSX-v and Horizon products is recommended for successfully understanding this design guide. 

The NSX Troubleshooting Guide describes how to monitor and troubleshoot the VMware NSX for vSphere system by using the NSX Manager user interface, the vSphere Web Client, and other NSX components, as needed.

This manual is intended for anyone who wants to use or troubleshoot any problem for NSX in a VMware vCenter environment.

The information in this manual is written for experienced system administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and virtual datacenter operations.

This manual assumes familiarity with VMware vSphere, including VMware ESXi, vCenter Server, and the vSphere Web Client.

VMware vSphere 6.5 addresses the operational and security challenges by leveraging the hypervisor to perform the encryption with no modification to the VM. The security architecture of VMware ESXi achieves this goal at the hypervisor layer. 



In this document, Mike Foley elaborates on how the security architecture and controls of vSphere VM encryption address the concerns of the security team while providing the IT operations team with the necessary tools to minimize impact on day-to-day operations.

The Reviewer's Guide for VMware App Volumes 2.13.1 is a comprehensive technical overview to help you evaluate VMware App Volumes. App Volumes provides real-time application delivery and life-cycle management. It can use App Volumes to quickly deliver applications and data to users without
compromising the user experience.

This guide introduces you to App Volumes and how it fits into the VMware End-User-Computing vision. You learn about App Volumes architecture and components, including storage, network, and security. The installation and configuration sections present a basic App Volumes deployment. Exercises in the
remaining sections allow you to evaluate some of the product's key features.

This book written by Shahzad Ali begins with a discussion around the main VMware NSX for vSphere use cases. Readers are introduced to VMware NSX and its management, control, and data plane components.

The discussion then moves on to relevant NSX deployment models used in small data centers, offering insight into central aspects of design. After the design and deployment model discussion, the book focuses on implementation aspects of
individual NSX components.

Day 2 operations and troubleshooting topics are extremely important for the success of any deployment. The book examines these concepts, then closes with a discussion on strategies to grow NSX beyond a small data center footprint.

The main objective this book is to provide NSX design and deployment guidance for small and medium businesses (SMBs) with a smaller VMware ESXi footprint.

Regardless of the size of a data center, VMware NSX enables features and use cases that provide business-impacting benefits of agility, reduced CAPEX/OPEX, flexibility, enhanced operations, and monitoring.

This book also discusses design deviations that are permitted for a SMB data center when compared to the reference design and deployment model for large enterprise data centers.

This course also provides an overview of the software-defined data center and explains how NSX integrates with the software-defined data center in the vSphere virtual infrastructure.
 

• Explain the role of network virtualization in the software-defined data center
• Explain the fundamentals of physical networking
• Obtain an overview of vSphere networking
• Explain the architecture, features, and use cases of NSX
