Virtual Cloud Network
Overview
The Virtual Cloud Network provides a seamless, secure, software-defined networking layer from the network edge to the data center to the cloud edge. Using the VCN you can simplify your hybrid-cloud operations with an all-in-one cloud model that extends intrinsic security and end-to-end policy consistency across your entire environment.
Cloud-Scale Networking
Connect and protect applications across your data center and multi-cloud environment on bare metal, and containerized infrastructure. The Virtual Cloud Network is built on VMware NSX in the data center and VMware SD-WAN over the WAN, for a complete L2-L7 networking and security virtualization platform that provides consistent, pervasive connectivity from the network edge and data center, across your multi-cloud network.
Intrinsic Security
Secure your business and detect and respond to threats with intrinsic security across endpoints and clouds. The VMware Service-defined Firewall secures east-west network traffic within the application in the data center. The firewall in the VMware SD-WAN Edge protects the network edge. Together, by leveraging deep visibility into workload behavior and stateful L2-L7 protection to mitigate risk, they ensure compliance, and lower costs—all while simplifying the operational model of protecting workloads.
End-to-End Analytics
The Virtual Cloud Network features VMware NSX Intelligence, a distributed analytics engine built into the hypervisor, enabling efficient packet inspection within the application and across the WAN by working with VMware SD-WAN for converged security policy management. Together, VMware vRealize Network Insight and NSX Intelligence help you build an optimized and secure network infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
