Note: A special license is required to discover and map VMware vCenter hosts. Please contact NetBrain Support Team for more details.

The system provides end-to-end visibility for VMware network nodes as well as their physical and virtual relationships. With NetBrain, you can quickly understand a VMware vCenter network in the following aspects:

▪What you have in your VMware network, such as ESXi hosts, VM hosts, virtual switches.

▪The detail information of a VMware network node, such as properties and networking information.

▪The network design between VMware network nodes, such as Layer 3 connection of ESXi hosts and their gateway devices, and the (parent/child) relationship between an ESXi host and vSwitch/VMs under the host.

Example: A Visualized Layer3 Topology Map of an ESXi Host.
