You have until 2023 to migrate from NSX-V to NSX-T

Your business is at risk

Users who fail to upgrade face ever-increasing cybersecurity risks, as well as the resource drain that comes with firefighting and troubleshooting.

Upgrading is worth it

VMware NSX-T boasts a raft of new features that allow for a more scaleable, secure and streamlined networking experience.

We know what to do

Founded by ex-VMware cloud services experts, Ascend Cloud Solutions knows the NSX architecture like few others on Earth.

Now is the time to take action

VMware NSX-V will reach end-of-support life in January 2023.


This is the single best reason for migrating to NSX-T. After 16 January 2023, VMware will no longer offer any technical support for NSX-V.


The software will continue to work. But the longer you stick with the old version, the more you open yourself up to security risks, compliance issues and increasing operational demands.


Migrating means enjoying regular security patches and bug fixes, as well as continued support from the VMware team. Not to mention the exceptional new features that NSX-T provides.

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What are NSX-T and NSX-V?

    NSX-T and NSX-V are iterations of VMware's NSX network virtualisation platform. NSX is a software-defined networking solution, meaning it allows you to create a networking infrastructure that's abstracted from the hardware it runs on.


    NSX-T was launched in 2017. The previous iteration, NSX-V, started being phased out in 2018.

  • What does NSX-T stand for?

    'NSX' is a brand name. The 'T' stands for 'transformers', referring to the software's ability to transform networks beyond the (comparatively) limited use cases of NSX-V.

  • What are my migration options?

    Our customers typically use one of two NSX-V to T migration methods. These are:


    • Lift and shift migration: This approach requires new or repurposed hardware. It involves deploying a new NSX-T infrastructure that runs in parallel to the old NSX-V infrastructure. Once the infrastructures are in place, you gradually 'lift and shift' workloads from the old to the new.

    • In-place migration: This method requires no additional hardware. Instead, it relies on a built-in NSX-T component called NSX Migration Coordinator to migrate hosts, edges and configurations in software.
