In the future, could you bundle the document separate from the TAP file?  It would make just understanding and promoting what is involved a lot easier.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback Steve. We will separate them next time.

When can we expect to see EMC Storage integration and also Network integration/serviceswith the Accelerator?

Other use cases I am seeing from the customer:

- Dashboards/Monitoring (showing them in Portal)

- Alerts/Triggers for thresholds

Thanks again for the great work, this does go towards bridging our products.

Our lab does not have EMC storage so we cannot test it. We will look into finding some lab resource for that.

Thanks for the suggestions on use csaes, we will track them for future enhancements.

Thanks

Can you please document this a bit more clear.

Need to know which services need to be bundled with which, just like you have put tables for others.
