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.
