Missing visibility into network devices in VCF?

The Network Insight extension suite brings automated visibility into your physical network infrastructure directly within VCF Operations.

Currently supported:

  • Juniper
  • Check Point
  • Cisco

Each extension includes:

  • a dedicated object model with vendor-specific relationships

πŸ‘‰ This allows you to start effective monitoring from the very first data collection.

These extensions create shared visibility between network and operations teams, enabling:

  • faster information exchange

The solution is already running in production environments with our customers β€” covering dozens of devices per vendor.

Where are my systems physically located?

Introducing VCF Facility Insight (Uptime DC)

This extension allows VCF administrators to integrate with Uptime DC and automatically map physical infrastructure into VCF Operations.

The extension includes:

  • 16 metrics
  • 58 properties
  • 2 dashboards
