AWS GovCloud and Azure Government
Gain additional capacity and best-in-class security and compliance along with extended visibility and precise control over cloud networking.
VRF Lite and Layer 3 BGP EVPN
Reduce your networking infrastructure footprint while maintaining complete data plane tenant and services isolation within a VRF on the NSX Edge.

Intrinsic Security
NSX Distributed IDS/IPS
