VM-Series for NSX Firewall Overview
NSX, VMware's Networking and Security platform designed
for the software-defined data center (SDDC), offers the ability
to deploy the Palo Alto Networks firewall as a service on a cluster
of ESXi servers. The term SDDC is a VMware term that
refers to a data center where infrastructure—compute resources,
network and storage—is virtualized using VMware NSX.
To keep pace with the changes in the agile SDDC, the VM-Series
firewall for NSX simplifies the process of deploying a Palo Alto
Networks next-generation firewall and continually enforcing security
and compliance for the east-west traffic in the SDDC. For details
