Nuage Networks Addresses the Microsegmentation Problem with SDN
Microsegmentation seems to be getting a lot of buzz in the virtual networking space, especially when it comes to network security. VMWare’s NSX leads the category, but we’re seeing a lot of competition from a variety of vendors. Each seems to have their own spin. Brandon Carroll is intrigued by Nuage’s approach. Whereas some other vendor […]
NFD8 Recap: Nuage Networks – One to Watch
Bob McCouch of Herding Packets comments: Last fall, I attended the Tech Field Day NFD8 event, and one of the presenting companies was Nuage Networks. This was actually the second time I’d seen Nuage present at an NFD event, the first one being NFD6 a year earlier. Upon my return from NFD8, I did a short write-up of […]
The Software-Defined Data Center with Nuage
Steve Beaver of The Virtualization Practice writes: he software-defined data center was all the rage at VMworld 2013, when NSX, VMware’s network virtualization platform, was announced.

SDN Product Rundown from September
Brent Salisbury from Network Static writes: What an exciting time to be in networking. This past month of September has been a blur of SDN product announcements and emerging strategies. At the top of the heap was the NSX announcement from a software company in Vmware that encapsulated Nicira’s SDN push. I am an unabashed […]
Network Virtualization vs. Network Virtualization
Jason Edelman writes about NSX and network virtualization: VMware’s NSX officially launched just two weeks ago.
