The first is an agility use case to increase speed to innovation. In the past, organizations\u00a0have had\u00a0to separate infrastructures for development and dev and production. Network virtualization is allowing people to have one common computing infrastructure that they can logically isolate and create separate networks. This easily allows them to move from production to dev to test. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The second use case is security. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Network virtualization allows organizations to provide additional security mechanisms within their data centers by using microsegmentation. If a company were to do this with physical firewalls and exiting technology, it would be extremely expensive and close to impossible operationally to implement. Network virtualization makes this a possibility.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can hear more from Steve on Twitter.
