Yesterday, 2017-08-28, VMware announced the next version of their network virtualisation product NSX-T meaning the latest and greatest version will soon be 2.0. NSX-T replaced NSX-MH which was the first NSX version to support multi-hypervisor. NSX-T can provide network virtualisation for both multi-cloud and multi-hypervisor environment.
