Cost Savings and Business Benefits Enabled by the Virtual Cloud Network.
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with an investment in a Virtual Cloud Network, Forrester interviewed five customers using VMware NSX Data Center for network virtualization as well as two customers using VMware NSX SD-WAN by VeloCloud to simplify WAN management across branch locations.

The Benefits of a Virtual Cloud Network
Slash CapEx and OpEx
Reap the benefits of a modern network virtualization strategy for data center networking and SD-WAN.
Analysts at Forrester found that the average organization saved millions not only in initial CapEx for a comparable hardware-based system, but also in additional hardware costs in the years to follow. On the OpEx side, a typical enterprise was able to retire 37% of its existing servers — avoiding more than $1M in ongoing maintenance costs. (Register to Download the Report)
Enable Consistent Policy Across Clouds
Apply consistent networking and security policies for apps running across both private and public clouds. NSX allows you to choose the best platform per workload and delivers a rich set of Layer 2 to Layer 7 networking and security services for all types of use cases.
Accelerate Cloud Adoption, with Lower TCO
Get faster time-to-value. VMware HCX delivers effortless application mobility and is purpose-built for vSphere workloads. Enjoy lower upfront planning time by eliminating redesign analysis and avoiding a vSphere upgrade.
Consider SD-WAN a Business Imperative
With business applications increasingly migrating to the cloud, enterprises are facing ever-increasing bandwidth requirements. Fortunately, software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) enables organizations to expand bandwidth across the network — while dramatically slashing connectivity costs and simplifying management.
Ensure Consistent Security Across Clouds
Divide your environment into distinct security micro-segments — down to the level of the individual workload — and define context-aware security policies based on dynamic security groups. NSX delivers granular protection that shields apps and data from lateral threats.
Increase Operational Efficiency
Work with the same automation and operations tools that are already familiar to you. NSX provides a consistent platform across data center, cloud, and edge — ensuring the same operational model for all environments.
