NSX Logical Load Balancer
VMware NSX is a network virtualisation and security platform that enables inclusion of 3rd party integration for specific functionality, like advanced firewalling, load-balancing, anti-virus, etc.

VMware just announced the VMware Integrated OpenStack (VIO) solution at VMworld.
