In reply to Emanuele Roserba. Hi Emanuele, Basically vCNS is in a steady state at the moment. It won't be getting any new features and will only be getting bug fixes. The migration path in the future will be to NSX once it's gone mainstream. These types of migrations don't happen overnight though, especially in large enterprises and cloud providers that expect to see a return on investment. I'm confident we'll see solid migration tools and services from VMware well in advance of any products being end of support.

Hi Michael,
about vCloud Networking and Security support ending a year earlier, I think a possible clue is that tools for perform a migration to an NSX based environment will be provided way before the end of support, this is based on information I extorted from VMware people during the last VMworld Europe.

I've been meaning to tell you Michael, that this was a great post. I have referred to it often in the last few weeks when dealing with vendors and other in my professional space that are "poo-pooing" vCD because of the VMware announcement. "Oh, look what VMware did to VCD customers! They just left you out to dry."

I am in the process of designing a global hybrid cloud solution, and I strongly believe that vCD certainly still has a role to play for some complex use cases. You are absolutely correct in stating that there is still not a feature-to-feature comparison between vCAC and vCD. And I am using vCAC 6 with NSX.

Thanks for laying this out!
