As datacenters evolve from traditional compute and storage facilities into AI powerhouses, the demand for qualified professionals continues to grow exponentially and salaries are high. The rise of AI, in particular, is dramatically reshaping the technology industry, and datacenters are at the epicenter of the changes.
Broadcoms decisions to replace perpetual VMware software licenses with subscriptions and to eliminate point products in favor of an expensive bundle of private cloud tools are driving longtime VMware customers to look for an exit strategy. There is no like-for-like replacement for the VMware hypervisor on the market, Delory points out.
At the VMware Explore conference going on this week in Las Vegas, VMware announced the addition of a generative AI weapon to its own cybersecurity platform, vDefend. Perimeter firewalls, originally designed to protect north-south traffic, are just not adequate,” Mahajan says.
But with the challenges surrounding Broadcoms acquisition of VMware and rumors of VMware customer defections , VergeIO has emerged as an alternative option. At the core of VergeIOs offering is its VergeOS platform, which takes a fundamentally different approach compared to traditional virtual infrastructure solutions like VMware.
Arista has expanded its security software to let customers control authorized network access and communication between groups from the datacenter to the cloud. Additionally, the company’s MSS Host focuses on data-center security policies. Additionally, the company’s MSS Host focuses on data-center security policies.
It also delivers security services and solutions – including best-in-class firewalls, endpoint detection and response, and security information and event management – needed to address the most stringent cyber resiliency requirements. And throughout all of this, we enable them to draw on the VMware assets they know and trust.“
Distributed firewalls via VMware NSX. Todd Pugh, CIO at food products manufacturer SugarCreek , manages a fully virtualized private datacenter. We asked three enterprises to share why they deployed microsegmentation technology in their networks and how it's working. Here are their stories.
A few years ago, next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) came out of nowhere to become a network security staple. NGFWs followed in the footsteps of earlier firewalls—physical appliances installed inline to protect private networks from the public Internet. Cisco ACI, CloudPassage, Illumio, Unisys, vArmour, VMware NSX, etc.).
firewall as a service, secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, and zero trust network access) into a single cloud-delivered service. According to Gartner, there are currently more traditional data-center functions hosted outside the enterprise datacenter than in it in IaaS providers clouds, in SaaS applications and cloud storage.
The latter can be open-source software such as OpenStack, CloudStack or commercial products such as Citrix CloudPlatform or VMware Cloud Director (VCD). The user level elements that are managed within such an IaaS cloud are virtual servers, cloud storage and shared resources such as load balancers and firewalls. Firewall rules.
In a bid to replace MPLS circuits and SD-WAN appliances, Cloudflare has introduced Magic WAN and Magic Firewall and partnerships with VMware, Aruba, Digital Realty, CoreSite and EdgeConneX.
It can also encompass a constantly growing laundry list of additional features such as firewall as a service (FWaaS), browser isolation, sandboxing, data loss prevention (DLP), and web application firewall (WAF). Broadcom’s VMware unit: VMware SASE was developed in-house and includes SD-WAN, ZTNA, CASB, FWaaS, and SWG.
This fall, Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware brought together two engineering and innovation powerhouses with a long track record of creating innovations that radically advanced physical and software-defined datacenters. But with a constantly expanding portfolio of 90 cloud solutions, our stack was increasingly complex.

Datacenters have become increasingly dynamic and distributed, which is why there has been a rise in technologies such as virtual machines, containers and hyperconverged systems. One of the big advancements in datacenter security has been the rise of segmentation tools.
Cloud networking comprises three layers: first from on-premises datacenters to the cloud, then within a cloud that has multiple accounts or virtual private clouds, and finally, between individual clouds in a multicloud environment. It’s more complicated than standard networking, Hoag says.
Microsegmentation like that provided by vendors CISCO and VMware state that traditional perimeter defenses akin to medieval castles walls no longer work. The problem is that threat actors are able to get through the castle gates (firewalls) and once in, are able to evade the castle guards (IPS). It enables Internet at Scale.
