Next TechnoLab Session on May 24: Make the Move to VMware NSX—Security and Microsegmentation
Summary of the session’s context and objectives—Companies are constantly exposed to new forms of cyber attacks. The frequency and impact of these attacks are on the rise. Such attacks have a direct effect on the companies’ operations, reputation, and the relationship of trust they have with their clients. It has become imperative to review security management practices to take advantage of greater agility and efficiency.
During the TechnoLab Session on May 24, we will explain how NSX offers a whole new approach to security management that is now “Software-Defined.” We will see that, even beyond VMware’s approach and technology platform, the transition is affecting the entire industry as it prepares for a significant shift to Software-Defined Networking.
The session is tailored to the interests and questions of the people in charge of architecture, IT operations, VMware, and the teams involved in company network and security management.
The workshop we have lined up will cover:
- The overall vision of the Hybrid Cloud shift / VMware SDDC Evolution Model (Software-Defined Data Centre)
- The SDN (Software-Defined Networking) trend that is quickly transforming the industry
- The notions and concepts introduced by VMware NSX with network virtualization and microsegmentation
- The main issues addressed and specific use cases for the solution
- The benefits of the NSX solution for your business and operation group
- The ecosystem of committed partners behind NSX
- Deployment options and best practices

Une suite tout simplement logique au succès des dernières sessions
Given that this session will focus on NSX and the Security and Microsegmentation component, we have assembled a panel of technical experts in the field.
This group of experts includes Ghislain Guay from VMware’s engineering team, Francois Rainville, cloud solutions specialist at PCD, and Jean-François Santos, NSX technical integration expert. All these people are directly involved in VMware SDDC deployment projects including the NSX component. Our goal is to use this session to answer the many questions you may have, and to share with you our latest experience in the field. As sponsoring partners, VMware, HPE Aruba and Hitachi Vantara representatives will be present to answer your questions around the integration of NSX and their own solutions.
TechnoLab Sessions—An Ultra-efficient Formula. A Worthwhile Way to Invest Your Time
TechnoLab Sessions focus on the deployment of the VMware Cloud/SDDC approach. These half-day sessions are designed to present high-quality information, enabling you to update your knowledge on various aspects of implementing an Enterprise Cloud. The TechnoLab sessions presented to date have focused on vSAN and NSX solution demonstrations. We will soon have sessions on the vRealize suite and Next-generation Back-up & DR.
Group discussions, technical presentations, whiteboard exercises, question periods—every effort is made with a highly dynamic and interactive formula to allow you to situate your company’s current practices and help guide your approach in the future.
