Deploying VMware Skyline

Synopsis

VMware Skyline is a new product currently for premier partners. The product is installed as an appliance within an existing vCenter environment and can be tied into vCenter, NSX, Horizons, and vRealize Operations. It proactively examines the environments that it is tied into and reviews the configuration giving you detailed inventory views. These views have a couple of primary benefits, the first is the proactive findings tab which will give you detailed issues within your environment. These findings can include misconfigured devices, vulnerabilities, and missing settings, along other possible issues. The second major benefit is the ability to quickly send bundle logs to VMware.
