VMware NSX

VMware NSX is a software platform that creates and manages virtual networks within physical data centers or cloud environments. It allows organizations to design, secure, and control network resources entirely through software, without relying solely on physical hardware. This enables faster deployment of networks, improved security through micro-segmentation, and simplified management of complex infrastructures. Essentially, NSX virtualizes network functions, making networking more flexible and responsive to the needs of modern digital workloads, just as software-defined storage virtualizes data storage resources.
