Fastly Next-Gen WAF vs. VMware NSX

Fastly has been the ideal CDN (Content Distribution Network) to solve and optimise the management of our content in our applications and portals; we have easily integrated its use, which has meant an increase in performance, a time savings in terms of management, and a saving of resources that we can use to make further improvements to improve our customers' web experience.

With proper design, VMware NSX can and should be deployed to virtually any VMware virtualization environment, but the deployment should be tailored to the needs of that environment. There isn't really a one size fits all deployment design for all environments. That versatility is what provides its greatest strength to a business.

We use both Cisco ACI and VMware NSX, and while they have different strengths and capabilities, I would recommend VMware NSX, as it can be used in all VMware environments, without costly physical infrastructure changes. Cisco ACI provides some of the same capabilities, but not all. It's focus relies on physical networking changes.

• Ability to move workloads more easily with the ability to stretch/move networks across multiple physical locations.
• The added flexibility allows you to expedite tech refreshes since you're no longer constrained by the hardware.
