Network and Security Operations

Network and security operations traditionally have been handled by two different operations teams, although much of the same operations data is used, but differently on whether the operations team us troubleshooting a connectivity problem, or a security breach. Log data, traffic data, and API based data from the various different network devices are used by both Network and Security operations. vRealize Network Insight offers use cases for both teams, all from the same data collection sources. As an example Network Insight can determine if a virtual connection is trusted, blocked (secure or unsecured), misconfigure, or broken (network infrastructure) all within the same workflow.

VMware’s Kit Colbert: Is the Cost of Migrating to Containers Really Worth the Effort? – The New Stack

VMware’s Kit Colbert: Is the Cost of Migrating…

VMware built the foundation of its business on making workload portability viable. But in the last few years, the concept of “workload” has been refined. The part of a virtual machine that behaves as though it were a machine, introduces too much overhead. Without it, a workload may be easier to maintain — assuming we get our container technologies to agree to work together on the same page.
