Service Insertion Management 10
VMware partners can integrate NetX services with their VMware virtual environment.
After you design the services that you want to offer, you can implement your service virtual machine and
create vendor templates which contain the settings and configuration parameters for the levels of an offered
service or different services that you provide.
Your service administrator registers your service manager and service with vShield Manager, and monitors
the health and performance of the service.
Service consumers can create a service profile to configure a service to work on a region of the network, and
edit vendor specific attributes of the service. They can then bind a service to a virtual wire.
