Azure Virtual Network vs. VMware NSX

For SAAS it's not required but for most of IAAS and PAAS components Virtual network are required the deployment of storage account doesn't require virtual network .

Our high-security environments require end to end encryption, but also tend to have larger budgets. Since beginning utilization of VMware NSX, we've been able to meet the unique requirements for our high-security clients, but it does have a large price tag that goes along with it. This isn't a particularly well-suited solution for environments with tighter budgets, but it definitely provides security where we need it and are willing to pay for this solution

• Allows connectivity within Vnet
• Secure Communication can be established
• Security Rules can be enforced
• Routing Can be Established

• Broadcast Suppression: By suppressing broadcast traffic, we have been able to deploy a single VDI network in a /18 network space, allowing for rapid growth and proper DHCP lease timing for a VDI instant clone environment.
• Networking HA: Leveraging internal mechanisms for high availability, it provides disaster resiliency to a virtual networking environment.
• Cost Savings: All available features of NSX are licensed simultaneously. Load balancers, firewalls, and routers are all licensed as features, not per object, allowing for the deployment of as many of these objects as are needed.

• Integration of Express Routes needs to be simplified
• Endpoints Security has to be available in Vnet itself

• Our biggest challenge is gaining acceptance from network engineers who are used to working with other technologies.

We use both Cisco ACI and VMware NSX, and while they have different strengths and capabilities, I would recommend VMware NSX, as it can be used in all VMware environments, without costly physical infrastructure changes. Cisco ACI provides some of the same capabilities, but not all. It's focus relies on physical networking changes.

• Easy to manage networking and security
• Better visibility into the environments
