Virtual Environments: The architectures provided by virtualization vendors are rapidly evolving. Network Virtualization is expected to function as designed in these changing environments, as long as the third-party vendor guarantees full compatibility of the virtualized environment with the Network Virtualization-approved hardware requirements. If you follow Network Virtualization system requirements to create the virtual machine, Network Virtualization will work correctly.

Working on top of a virtual machine may require access to the virtualization server hardware/monitoring environment, to ensure the virtualization server is not saturated; otherwise, this might obscure the virtual machines' measurements and lead to false results.
