the QCC plug-in delivers advancement in technology to improve and enhance the user experience. the QCC plug-in can instantly display how datastores
are related to VMs as well as which storage targets and LUNs the datastores reside on. QCC gives an instantaneous view of all those relationships along
with a mouse-over feature whereby key configuration information for each of the hardware components throughout the fabrics may be seen. So regardless
of the VM mobility situation, administrators can always see where resources are allocated.
