NSX coverage

[Gpapps]

i have an Infrastructure that contains servers and hardware that is not virtualized with VMware (ie: powerVM) - am I able to use NSX to do microsegmentation with these platforms?

Checkout NSX-T installation guide. It supports other worlkloads besides vSphere VMs:

KVM hosts: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/2.4/installation/GUID-AECA2EE0-90FC-48C4-8EDB-66...

Bare metal servers: Bare Metal Server System Requirements

Kubernetes and Pivotal Cloud Foundry: Compatibility Requirements

Openshift: Compatibility Requirements

Hi,

For micro segmentation of virtual machines the two platforms supported are vSphere and KVM (NSX-T)

Now, other platforms and physical servers can still benefit of NSX security features. Using features like L2 bridge and L2VPN you can more or less integrate these components into the NSX platform.

Not only vSphe and KVM but also Bare metal servers are supported as transport nodes in NSX-T according to documentation I already sent. I have tested it out and works well. You can even connect a bare metal server onto an overlay network.
