So I see that vCNS 5.5 has been out of GA for over a year with no product that I can see as a replacement, except NSX maybe. It also already had an exception made to extend support to 2016 instead of EOL'ing in 2015 as per VMmware's 2-year EAP lifecycle. However, I don't see any plans or hints at a vCNS 6.0 product. Right now I'm leveraging vCNS App and Firewall to secure a mixed PCI/nonPCI VDI environment. Reading between the lines it looks like vCNS 5.5 is the end of the line and they're going to force us over to NSX come Q3 2016 if I want to still leverage the functionality App and Firewall were providing. Does anyone have any info on vCNS beyond 5.5? Am I right to think "NSX" will be the answer? Or is there another product I'm not aware of that is offering the App and Firewall functionality now?
