I know you all have been eagerly awaiting the release of Skyline Advisor, and your feedback in response to mock-ups and demos before, during and after VMworld U.S. has been overwhelmingly positive. Many of you have stated that you’re looking forward to being able to access Skyline proactive findings and recommendations any time, rather than waiting for an emailed report.
