What are main advantages of NSX in Virtualization? Especially when you have your good Physical Infrastructure with all necessary equipment such as Routers, Switches, Firewall etc
I need some key features with advantages in detail to get justification for NSX Implementation.
Please share your experience and Knowledge.
In addition to this, I found the below link very useful. Have a view at this.
Hi,
NSX has 3 big use-cases: Network Automation, Security on a micro level and Disaster Recovery on multiple locations. You can find out more about them on vmware.com: Network Virtualization and Security Platform – NSX | VMware
I would actually suggest you contact your VMware rep to talk through the best use-case for your environment and how you can make the justification work.
Below are some of the key benefits which I would like to highlight.

Can some one suggest which Cisco UCS Rack Mount Server is good to install NSX 6.2 and vCenter 6.6 Together? And how many Physical Servers should be there? What are the Spec like Core and RAM Required?
Thanks,
NSX is agnostic to any hardware sever including Cisco UCS. The model or the size of the server depends mainly on the size of your deployment.
Refer to the sizing in the below from the VMware KB article. The sizing needs to be based on your deployment size.
Also any reason why are planning to use NSX 6.2 instead of 6.3.
Minimum recommendation is to have 3 servers, but if you are planning to deploy for enterprise network consider 5 servers (3 for Management POD + 2 for Edge POD)
At the Moment We have 3 UCS Chassis 5108 so total 24 Blades (B200-M4). We might Increase to 4 More Chassis in next 2 years. So let start with sizing with current which are 24 Blades and maximum can to 48 Blades in Future.
Currently we have vCenter 6.0 Standard and we will upgrade to 6.5. We don't have NSX at the moment but we are planning to go as well. On storage side we are using local disk on every blades (1.2TB x 2) but off course we will consider to go for Centralized Storage.
So with current 24 Blades and keep NSX as option for future plan. How many Physical UCS Rack Mount Servers do we need ?
