“Arkin (vRNI) real-time flow analytics makes it extremely easy to implement micro-
segmentation security. The visibility and troubleshooting capabilities that Arkin (vRNI)
provides to our networking and operations teams enables us to more quickly and
confidently scale our NSX deployment.”
Brian Lancaster, Executive Director of Information Management
“I cannot say enough good things about #vRNI if you want visibility into your #NSX
overlay/firewall and physical network. @vmwarensx”
Daniel Hertzberg, Enterprise Engineer
“I love the visibility into configuration/env changes that
vRNI provides me. So glad to finally get this product
into production.”
Justin Bias, Cloud Technologies Specialist
“Most community colleges are challenged to provide stronger information security on a limited
budget and with a small IT team. The combination of VMware NSX and vRealize Network
Insight works very well for us. It makes our environment more secure, and it’s saving us time
every week. I look forward to the new NSX Edge Health Dashboard and third-party device
integrations in vRealize Network Insight 3.5 to help drastically reduce the amount of effort and
time required to plan, deploy and scale SDDC networking and security infrastructure.”

Editor's Notes
Networking, both virtual and physical, offers services for intelligently interconnected applications, endpoints and people. It is one of the cornerstones today’s modern day data center. Networking is sophisticated as it has multiple different physical and virtual layers and it serves many different types of endpoints. Networking requires a multi-layer network operations management framework including management, control and data plane intelligence. In this presentation we will review the tools required to intelligently manage the networking portion of SDDC, and show how you can drive agility and ROI benefits. The primary tools that will be reviewed are vRealize Network Insight and Log InsightvRealize Log Insight.
