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

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

▪The detail information about a vCenter network node, such as properties.

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

 
Example: A Visualized Layer 2 Topology of a VDS
