Hi Chris! What types of features are you looking for in particular? We do have capacity planning in VMAN, but you said a word I'd like to dig into a bit more -"easy" What would you like to see that would make it easier for your team?

This is perfect feedback thank you!

If you're interested in xen server support, could you add a vote to this feature request? I'd be interested in knowing how much of your infrastructure is currently utilizing XenServer vs others?

If you're interested in Nutanix support, would you be open to a call?
