Smart Migration With VMware HCX+
Gestalt IT takes a look at VMware’s HCX+ following their Tech Field Day Extra presentation at VMware Explore. HCX+ is designed to streamline workload migration in the multi-cloud environment. The tool seeks to eliminate uncertainty and chaos from the migration process, allowing companies a swift transition to their first migration. HCX+ offers a “bird’s eye view” on multi-cloud estates for consolidated management and higher operational clarity, transforming the normally cumbersome process of migration into a simplified and efficient endeavor.

VMware Goes for Multi-Cloud Support With NSX+
Curtis Preston shares his insights on VMware’s evolution, specifically its NSX+ product, following their Tech Field Day Extra presentation at VMware Explore 2023. VMware has launched NSX+, which incorporates five key services, including policy management, flow visualization, network detection, response, orchestrating load balancers, and a migration service, aiming to provide effective management across multiple clouds. Right now, NSX+ focusses on managing ESX workloads on several clouds, but future plans aim to manage native workloads, with VMware positioning itself as a centralized orchestrator for multi-cloud setups.
The Future of VMware: Going Down the Rabbit Hole at VMware Explore 2023
In the VMware Explore article, Allyson Klein delves into Broadcom’s imminent acquisition of VMware and highlights how NSX, and its latest version NSX+, may be the crown jewel of VMware’s portfolio. NSX+ brings new multi-cloud security policy configuration and management, with a single pane of glass view on management of distributed firewalls, gateways, and IDS/IPS policies. As this technology lies at the center of network innovation, Klein surmises it is likely the primary attraction for Broadcom in the acquisition, and will undoubtedly play a significant role in the VMware of the future.
