VCF 9 Architecture

  Hello everyone! Let’s continue our discussions about Site Resiliency model offered by NSX not through Multisite but through federation. What benefits we may have and what improvements we may have. This is all what we are going to discuss here in this topic. NSX Federation (a Quick Brief) Unlike Multisite NSX architecture, NSX Federation does not require to configure MTU over WAN or at provider side to be changed from typical (Default) value to 1700+. It’s a big change at infrastructure configuration or requirement level. NSX Managers can be on different geographical locations despite of 10ms RTT problem. Because, the global objects will penetrate into local NSX Managers through Async Replicator Service through Application Proxy Hub (APH) offered by Global NSX Managers. It only replicates Clusters with other site clusters not amongst the nodes of one cluster (or inside a cluster).  Whereas the distance in between Global managers (within same NSX Manager Cluster)  (Active...

  The NSX Multi-site Architecture  By – Adnan  Hussain (VCIX – NV)  Hi there, If you are looking for Multisite topologies based on applications availability across sites, may be in the form of stretch clusters or in the form of Active/Active Sites or Active/Stand-by sites architecture then you are at the right place.  I am writing this article in series / episodes to have a connection with you all and can discuss different aspects using this portal to address your understanding and to learn more In-order to have Applications available across multiple sites even from on-premise to public cloud tenancies, you keep your infrastructure ready and expandable or responsive to difference architectural challenges and changes.  VMware being pioneer in providing Infrastructure relevant software like  All above technologies run on top of software logics with no dependency on Hardware make and model (only needed x86 architecture). I will discuss all above listed te...
