Introducing the NSX-V network virtualization platform

Since we have defined what network virtualization is all about, let's discuss VMware NSX and its history. Nicira (NSX) was a company which focused on software-defined networking and network virtualization and was founded by Martin Casado, Nic Mckeown, and Scott Shenker in 2007. On July 23, 2012, VMware acquired Nicira and NSX is a product which was created from VMware vCloud Networking Security (vCNS) and the Nicira network virtualization platform. As of now VMware NSX-v can be integrated with vSphere, vCloud Director, and vCloud Automation Center which gives fully-fledged network automation in private cloud. A multi-hypervisor environment, such as Xen server, KVM, or VMware ESXi with a choice of cloud management solution such as vCloud automation center, OpenStack, and CloudStack, can also be integrated with VMware NSX. This book features the NSX-VMware (NSX-V) version of NSX only. NSX-V will be referred to as NSX for the rest of the book.
