Because virtual network components such as virtual switches and firewalls are hard to find with online tools, a comprehensive, auditable record of every virtual machine and infrastructure component is documented in detail and kept current, and software licences are evaluated, negotiated and refined with vendors so that instance-based, hardware-based, usage-based or client-based licensing remains valid and sufficient in the virtualised environment.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
