Re: Customer Backup with CS 4.7 and VMWare

Thank you Paul, its a good proposal. This is a really piece to get a global solution. I think that it should be treated like load balancer, where Cloudstack offers a simple, but useful solution, and Cloudstack allows to integrate dedicated solutions like F5. In fact, Cloudstack just offers a glob
