This section illustrates how a VMware Telco Cloud architecture can create a multi-tenant quality-of-service NFV platform with intrinsic security built into the virtual infrastructure, its components, and its management so that security is programmable, automated, adaptive, and context-aware.

VMware components can be deployed in several ways to construct a comprehensive solution that meets your security goals. This example uses VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure OpenStack Edition as the VIM and includes vSphere, vSAN, and NSX. The operational components are Aria Operations, Aria Operations for Logs, and Aria Operations for Networks. You can also use VMware Cloud Director as the VIM instead of OpenStack in a different combination.
