CompTIA A+ Certification: Your Comprehensive Guide
Posted by Marbenz Antonio on May 19, 2022
Today’s businesses are being transformed by software. Modern apps are making a significant contribution to company innovation, transformation, and faster service delivery. Modern business models demand dynamic apps that are spread across various clouds. Apps must be adaptable to diverse computing platforms, such as containers, virtual machines, and bare metal. Contemporary network architecture is necessary to assure connection and stability across various clouds to enable these modern apps. Networks must be scalable and adaptable, while still providing an excellent end-user application experience.
VMware has introduced a new version of NSX designed with contemporary apps and end-to-end security in mind to help enterprises build a network optimized for modern apps. Customers may use NSX Data Center (NSX-T) to take advantage of enhanced networking and security features to enable new business models and various use cases. By transitioning to NSX-T, existing VMware NSX for vSphere (NSX-V) users may realize increased business agility and higher network and application performance. Customers are advised to move to NSX-T in addition to the additional capabilities, as NSX-V passed End of General Support (EOS) in January 2022 and will reach End of Technical Support (ETS) in January 2023. Customers must act fast while migrating from NSX-V to NSX-T. This article will examine the NSX-V to NSX-T migration use case, advantages, difficulties, and customer journey, as well as how VMware Professional Services’ data center migration services may help you along the process.
NSX-T was designed with current network requirements in mind. VMware NSX-T was developed from the bottom up for the hybrid cloud, to ensure networks can manage changes in application landscapes and security needs. A goal was also to protect against developing sophisticated network security attacks. NSX-T is designed to provide networking, security, automation, and operational simplicity for new application frameworks and architectures with diverse endpoint environments and technology stacks.
Cloud-native apps, bare-metal workloads, multi-hypervisor setups, public clouds, and many clouds are all supported by NSX-T Data Center. NSX-T is a software-defined infrastructure that enables the creation of cloud-native application environments. The NSX-T Data Center is intended for development companies to manage, operate, and consume. The NSX-T Data Center enables IT and development teams to choose the technologies that are most suited to their applications.
Among the many advantages of the NSX-T are the following:
The NSX-T is not the same as the NSX-V. As a result, transitioning from NSX-V to NSX-T is more complicated than just applying a patch or performing a small update. To properly relocate, network managers must first carefully assess their present network.
The following are the most typical customer migration issues:
Migrating from NSX-V to NSX-T (NSX V2T) does not have to be difficult, but it should not be handled lightly. A network must be thoroughly examined to ensure that the necessary hardware and configuration are in place to handle the newly deployed NSX-T workloads. As with most things in networking, a little strategy may go a long way to ensuring a project’s long-term success. VMware Professional Services can assist you with your move.
Organizations that work with VMware Professional Services and our Master Services Competencies (MSC) partners begin their migration with an NSX V2T Migration Assessment Service. This transition evaluation analyses the current VMware NSX-V deployment and identifies the intended VMware NSX-T state for the future. The goal of this service is to evaluate the customer’s environment, identify preparedness for the migration path, offer a high-level overview of needs, and design the process flow.
VMware Professional Services will examine critical parameters and features in your present VMware NSX-V architecture, such as the following:
The VMware Professional Services team will go over the relevant use cases for your network deployments, such as Kubernetes and container networking support, networking and security automation, network detection and response against advanced threats, centralized policy management, securing VDI (virtualized desktop infrastructure), disaster recovery, micro-segmentation, IDS/IPS, moving workloads to/from the public cloud, networking and security analytics, and so on.
The Evaluation Service is given in three stages:
After you have completed the NSX V2T Migration Assessment Service, you will obtain a detailed list of:
Based on the evaluation results, VMware Professional Services will sit down with you to plan and discuss several NSX-V to NSX-T migration approaches: coexist, in-place, or lift-and-shift. View our full NSX-T Data Center Migration Guide for a detailed overview of these many migration methodologies and tools available for migration. Whatever migration approach you pick, the following high-level stages are required:
There are a number of alternative NSX-V to NSX-T migration engagement models you may use depending on how you want to continue with your migration:
When you work with VMware Professional Service and MSC partners, you know you’re getting:
