VMware NSX 4.1.0.0

‎VMware NSX-T – In NSX‎‎ 6.3, ‎‎VMware‎‎ introduced a new version of NSX called NSX-T (T stands for Transformers). Although the focus was on NSX-v, and the NSX-MH or Multi-Hypervisor version was also used for multiple hypervisor environments (such as KVM, Xen, ESXi, etc.), NSX-T has now replaced NSX-MH in some way. In fact, NSX-T is designed and created for cloud-based environments, which is also compatible with OpenStack and supports KVM and ESXi. One of the interesting features of the NSX-T is that it connects to the OpenStack cloud infrastructure with a Neutron plug-in.‎
