Workloads come in various forms factors like virtual machines, containers, and physical servers. In addition, workloads are hosted in different environments like on-premises, native cloud, or managed cloud. The heterogeneity of the workload form factor and deployment type further challenges the organizations regarding security coverage, policy consistency, number of platforms to be managed, and overall operational simplicity. The requirement of an organization is to have an operationally simple platform that provides consistent policy across virtual machines, containers, physical servers, and native cloud workloads without compromising the application and data security.
NSX Intelligence, a security analytics and policy management solution, automatically determines the communication patterns across all types of workloads, makes security policy recommendations based on those patterns, and checks that traffic flows to conform to the deployed policies.
