Explanation

The VM-1000-HV is the VM-Series model specifically designed and licensed for hypervisor environments, including VMware NSX integration. The '-HV' suffix stands for Hypervisor. It supports the VMware NSX service insertion model, where the VM-Series acts as a network service registered with the NSX manager to provide east-west traffic inspection between VMs. The VM-100, VM-200, and VM-300 are standard VM-Series tiers for general-purpose virtualized or cloud deployments and do not carry the VMware NSX-specific support of the VM-1000-HV.
