This feature is an extension of ZTX monitor mode functionality to virtual machines where a virtual machine running on a hypervisor(ESXi/KVM) will facilitate the generation of MSS policies by exporting flow telemetry to CloudVision Portal. vZTX will primarily focus on the use cases where the data traffic in the customer sites are limited(<10Gbps). This will help the customer to reduce the capital expenditure costs by avoiding the need of purchasing a dedicated hardware box. So, this product can cater to the needs of small to medium size enterprise customers.
