Allow use of VLAN ID for network matching for segmentation

Today, to verify a VM can live on another vCenter, Turbonomic checks the port group name to ensure match and that the same network is available at the destination. This idea is to match on the VLAN ID instead of the port group name string.

Change the color schema of the DWC to help differentiate between prod and non-prod instances, potentially open in the same web browser.

I would like to see a way to very easily see a visual difference between the production instance of the DWC and the non-production instance of the DWC. Often times those two URLs are open in the same browser, just different tabs. We are noticing s...
