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.

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.

7 key challengesof managing security in a traditional,

hardware defined data center

Micro-segmentation Secure userenvironments

Disasterrecovery

Metropooling

…for a much improvedsecurity-to-e�ort ratio.
