photograph wantedA vSphere or VCF console on a real screen at soulTec: a cluster view, a running task, an inventory tree, so the reader should recognise the UI

What it is

Network visibility across the platform: flows between VMs, paths through the NSX overlay, and the rules that apply on the way. Until VCF 9 it was called Aria Operations for Networks, and before that vRealize Network Insight.

What VVF does not have

It is part of the VCF entitlement and not of VVF. Anyone running vSphere Foundation who needs this visibility has an upgrade to VCF in front of them.
