Hi John,
We're not introducing any additional management touch points. Existing N1kv customers can continue to manage the virtual switch environment in the same fashion through the VSM (Virtual Supervisor Module). The VSM orchestrates and manages the virtual switch environment (portgroups/port profiles, VLANs, etc) in concert with vCenter. The end result is that n1kv customers who value, use, and require a separation of duties model can continue doing what they were doing without operational impact.
