What is RSP? What is RSP? • VMware Virtualization running on the VMware Virtualization running on the Steelhead – VM Server 2 • S pport for 5 VM instances • Support for 5 VM instances • Steelhead is always in-path, but RSP provides flexible configurations for different data flow f f f ff f scenarios (VNI’s – virtual network interfaces) • RSP is a separate service running in own memory space – traffic and optimization always preserved
Use Cases for RSP Use Cases for RSP • Branch Services Branch Services – DC, AD, File and Print, BranchCache – Consolidated core network services - Infoblox Consolidated core network services Infoblox • Security – IDS/IPS, / – Firewall (e.g. Checkpoint, Forefront), – Web Filtering (e.g. Websense)
