Long time!
You are absolutely right tha...Hi Brad,<br /><br />Long time!<br /><br />You are absolutely right that NSX may just run on existing infrastructure. That is why I think your ex-colleagues can to be more paranoid.:)<br /><br />Yet at the same time, the challenge for NSX is asking customers to "rip out" the status quo operation model.
