Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
VMware NSX is a robust platform that addresses the organization's needs for securing east-west traffic through micro-segmentation, enabling consistent policies across hybrid cloud environments, and automating network provisioning. These features make NSX a powerful solution for modernizing enterprise networking and security in a hybrid cloud setup. However, it does not replace physical networking hardware, and it supports both private and hybrid cloud models, making some answer options incorrect.
- A. Correct.
NSX provides micro-segmentation, allowing granular security controls to secure east-west traffic within the data center, addressing one of the organization's core concerns.
- B. Correct.
NSX enables consistent networking and security policies across on-premises and cloud environments, meeting the organization's goal of seamless hybrid cloud operations.
- C. Incorrect.
While NSX abstracts and virtualizes networking, it does not eliminate the need for physical networking hardware entirely. Physical infrastructure is still required as the underlying foundation.
- D. Correct.
NSX automates network provisioning and management through API-driven workflows, reducing the time and effort required to deploy and manage applications.
- E. Incorrect.
NSX is not limited to public cloud deployments. It supports hybrid and multi-cloud models, making it highly versatile for the organization's use case.
