Terminology
Virtualization Computer hardware was designed to run a single operating
system and a single application. Result: most computers are vastly underutilized. Virtualization lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single
physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple environments.
Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple applications on the same physical computer.

SSH & SNMPv3 Based Credentials
SNMPv3 Discovery Full support of SNMPv3 security
for discovery Strengthens WhatsConnected
with the strongest possible authentication and encryption mechanisms
Compliant with SNMP Security RFC 3826
SSH Credentials Requires usage of proper
credentials to access devices
