Virtualize your networkand realize improved security.

Adopting a software-defined approach and virtualizing your network enables full deployment of security controls

that are built in, not bolted on:

Virtualized, distributed firewalls, integrated into the infrastructure

Micro-segmentation delivers up to 66%1 CapEx savings.

It brings network security inside your data center perimeter. Security is shrink-wrapped around individual workloads,

following them wherever they go, e�ectively creating separate micro trust zones.

Bettersecurity

Simplermanagement

Hardware-independentinfrastructure

Powerful capabilities

Strongerreturns oninvestment

Increasedbusiness agility

High CapEx costs for adequate security with physical firewalls

Making changes to dedicated hardware is labor-intensive

Little or no security insidethe data center perimeter

Network management iscomplex and error-prone

Di�cult and expensiveto achieve IT compliance

High admin costs of applyinggranular security and addingnew zones

No secure way of extendingthe data center network tohybrid clouds

NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION AND SECURITY

The Software-Defined Data Center—is criticalto modern IT as a focal point for innovation.

Network virtualization is a core component of the SDDC, delivering security controls that are native to the infrastructure, giving you better protection of assets, enabling greater business agility, and improving

your security-to-e�ort ratio.
