Determine who NSX-T for complete beginners serves, from engineers new to NSX to sales or vendor-facing roles, and discuss use cases, value proposition, and key competitors such as Cisco HCI.
Explore NSX use cases that fuse network virtualization with security, including distributed firewall, micro-segmentation, and disaster recovery, to automate and protect data center networks.
Learn the difference between north-south traffic and east-west traffic within a data center. See how edge firewalls protect the data center perimeter and how nsx segmentation secures east-west flows inside.
Learn micro segmentation in a three-tier app to restrict web, app, and database traffic, applying firewall rules on virtual network interface cards via NSX-T manager to prevent lateral movement.
Adopt the nsx-t distributed firewall to shift firewalling from centralized appliances to workload-based, stateful enforcement on each vm or host, scalable across vcenters and public clouds, with partner service integration.
Experience a live NSX-T microsegmentation demo that uses VM tags to form a Web VMs group and blocks Webo1 from Webo2 with a distributed firewall policy, testing effectiveness.
Learn how NSX can coexist with HCI, enabling the overlay network with NSX while HCI manages the underlay through APIC, with virtualization, security, and automation.
Explore how NSX-T automates everything, from on-demand vm provisioning to configuring routing, switching, nat, and firewall rules, using V-Ray, rest API calls, Ansible, and TerraForm.
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR: This course is designed specifically to not be highly technical. The aim of this course is to teach the basics of NSX-T - why you would use it, what the benefits are, etc. If you are looking for a technical course, take a look at my other NSX-T course. This course is for someone who wants to learn enough about NSX-T to feel comfortable with the architecture, and know the most important features of the solution - but doesn't need to learn how to set it up just yet!
Are you looking for a SIMPLE introduction to NSX-T?
Are you preparing for the VCTA-NV?
Are you a sales rep/account executive or presales engineer?
If you answered "YES" to any of the above, this is YOUR course! I've taught over 10,000 students NSX-T. The most common thing I have heard, is that NSX-T is so different than anything they've seen - it can be a little overwhelming.
So in this course, we'll stick to the basics - we'll discuss things like:
Why should you implement NSX-T
What are the basic components of an NSX deployment
What are transport nodes, transport zones, and more
How does the distributed firewall help secure an environment?
How do I plan security policy in NSX-T?
..and a lot more.
My name is Mike Ghazaleh, and I have been teaching NSX-T for several years, and have done it now to students in over 130+ countries! This is what I love to do, and I think you will see that through this (and my other) courses! I strongly believe that these courses should be simple, interesting, and most importantly - useful! You should learn what you need without spending hours staring at powerpoint slides.
So that said, I hope you give this course a try - I'll see you there!
