VMware NSX vs. WireGuard

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.

Perfect for low spec hardware, it runs perfectly well.

• End to end encryption on the wire.
• Micro-segmentation.
• Integrates well with existing VMWare environment.
• Integrates well with our existing network.

• Perfomance
• Security
• Ease of use
• Reliability

• Interoperability in multi-vendor environments
• Advanced networking and packet acceleration options can be improved

• Some kind of access control, although I know this is out of scope of the tool

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.

OpenVPN its a well known solution but it pales compared to WireGuard in terms of perfomance, speed and easey implementation.

Also it required less resources.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Reliability
• Resilience
• Peace of mind
