On today’s show, sponsored by VMware, we talk to a VMware NSX customer to get their real-life experiences with the technology. And just to make it more interesting, this customer also uses Cisco ACI, which we’ll get into.
Our guests come from the Hutto Independent School District. Based in Hutto, TX, the district has over 6,000 K-12 students on 8 campuses.
We talk about why Hutto went down the path of choosing NSX, how the technology supports Hutto’s VDI implementation, the business aspects of the decision to go with NSX, how they deployed NSX themselves, and more.
Joining Greg and Ethan are Travis L Brown, Director of Technology; Keith Reynolds, Network Administrator; and Christopher Harding, Network Administrator.
