I am a long time Astaro user and manage a ever growing Vmware cluster environment.
We have access to vShield but seeing that Astaro is giving away a business version of ASG I was going to do a comparison of the two.
Currently vShield is VERY integrated into Vmware.
Does Astaro plan on offering this type of functionality as it looks like there is no built-in integration of the Astaro VM appliance into vmware.
