"NSX is getting strong traction"

With fewer than 500 paying customers, I don't see how you can describe NSX as having "strong traction".

Two things:

1. the number is more than 800. 2. NSX is being deployed primarily as a security tool for micro-segmentation. It is displacing firewalls in the data centre is substantly way. 3. Change in the data centre is slow. Infrastructure is commonly built on 10-15 year cycles so actual purchases are a lagging indicator.
