NSX in plain English
What network virtualisation changes in a data centre, and what it does not.
Read the articlePrivate cloud and network infrastructure, built and run properly.
Rackstack designs, builds and manages VMware Cloud Foundation, NSX, firewalls, routing, LAN and WAN for organisations around the world, from a single new office to a full private cloud.
What we build and manage
One team for the platform, the network and the security around it, so nothing falls between suppliers.
Private cloud on VMware Cloud Foundation
Design, deployment and day-to-day management of VMware virtual cloud platforms for your data centres and remote sites, including capacity planning, patching and lifecycle upgrades.
Network virtualisation and security with NSX
Logical networks, gateways and distributed firewall policy that follow your workloads, so you can segment applications and change the network without touching hardware.
Firewall management
Rule reviews, change control, policy clean-up and monitoring for your perimeter and internal firewalls, with clear records of what changed and why.
Routing, LAN and WAN
Switching and routing design, site-to-site connectivity and WAN links with redundancy built in, documented so your own team can understand it.
New offices and locations
Everything a new site needs to go live: addressing plan, LAN, internet and WAN connectivity, firewall, Wi-Fi and the link back to your private cloud.
Ongoing infrastructure management
Monitoring, incident response and regular health checks for the platforms we build, delivered remotely for customers in any time zone.
How a new site or platform project runs
The same four stages whether it is one branch office or a new private cloud.
Assess
We learn your applications, users, locations and constraints before proposing anything.
Design
You receive a written design covering addressing, segmentation, redundancy and security, for sign-off.
Build
We configure, test and document each component, and agree a go-live plan with you.
Hand over
Your team gets the documentation and a walkthrough, with ongoing management if you want it.
