Scott Martin, systems engineering manager of VMware’s Networking & Security Business Unit, sat down with Stu Miniman, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at VTUG Winter Warmer 2016 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to talk about the NSX platform. The merger of virtual and traditional networking Traditional hardware-based networks have long dominated the networking field. However, Martin said virtual networking platforms are starting to come into their own. “Networking folks are starting to learn about cloud, cloud folks are starting to learn about the networking context, and we’re starting to see tiger teams across organizations,” he said. NSX requirements Because the VMware NSX platform is decoupled from the underlying hardware, it can accommodate virtually any type of network hardware system. “Whether we’re talking about a Cisco-based infrastructure, an Arista infrastructure, Juniper … it really doesn’t matter. As long as the network infrastructure is built correctly and is highly resilient, you have the great pinnings for an interlay,” said Martin. @theCUBE #VTUG
