Issue/Introduction

The VMware Cloud Foundation Asset Calculator tool (VCFACT) is intended for use either at the direction of or guidance from your Broadcom Account team.

• vSAN Storage TiB capacity and utilization

You may configure the VCFACT to connect to one or multiple vCenters to make it easier to collect a comprehensive set of information across your VCF environment.
