Which solutions are part of the NSX portfolio?

The NSX portfolio is specifically designed for network virtualization and security within the VMware ecosystem. NSX Distributed IDS/IPS is part of NSX's offerings, providing advanced security features such as intrusion detection and prevention as integrated components of the overall network architecture. This solution works seamlessly with NSX to monitor and protect workloads in real-time, leveraging the distributed nature of NSX to provide visibility and security at various layers of the network stack.

Other solutions mentioned, while part of the broader VMware product suite, are not categorized under the NSX portfolio specifically. For example, vRealize Automation and vRealize Network Insight are tools that enhance automation and observability within VMware environments but do not fall under the NSX security and networking framework. Similarly, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid focuses on managing Kubernetes workloads and is part of VMware’s cloud-native application platform, which again, is separate from NSX’s core focus on network virtualization and security. Hence, the identification of NSX Distributed IDS/IPS as part of the NSX portfolio is accurate within the context of the network security domain.
