Optional add-on for NSX#

Customers can add service deployments to their NSX environment. A service deployment is a partner service offered by a third-party company. This partner service could be a third-party firewall or a guest introspection service, for example. Rackspace does not provide managed services for any partner service not installed by Rackspace and makes no guarantees that all partner services will work with NSX for RPC-VMware.
