VMware vCloud Director software allows organizations to deliver virtual infrastructure resources like compute, storage, and networking as virtual datacenters. This provides complete, on-demand infrastructure that can be provisioned within minutes. It transforms IT speed and productivity by streamlining provisioning processes and enhancing security and access controls. The software also enables hybrid cloud capabilities by integrating private and public cloud infrastructure.

Elastic Virtual Datacenters
 Resource pools allocated to tenant
organizations that can span multiple
vSphere clusters
Overview
Benefits
 Enables a virtual datacenter to grow to
the maximum capacity of a vCenter
Server
 Ensures highest utilization of hardware
Cluster A Cluster B

9. 9
Continuum of resource allocation models for your environment
 Reservation Model
• Infrastructure is pre-reserved
• 100% Consumers are sure of 100%
guaranteed access
 Allocation Model
• Resources are over-reserved, similar to
the “airline seat” model
• IT can balance utilization with sense of
guarantees
 Pay-As-You-Go
• Infrastructure is consumed as requests
are made
• Maximizes the utilization of hardware

user options within a virtual datacenter
 Virtual machines are placed and load
balanced using vSphere Storage DRS
Overview
Benefits

Fast Access to Infrastructure
Three Ways to Connect, Including
GUI
 Direct access through web-based
portals by end users (developers,
etc) or IT delegate
 Integrate into IT workflows &
request processes
 Programmatic access through
vCloud API

13. 13
Cross-Cluster Fast Provisioning Saves Even More Money & Time
 Provisions new VMs from a template
without replicating the entire image
 Instead, links the images (clones) so that
common elements are stored only once
Overview
Benefits
 Radically speeds up provisioning time
from >2 minutes to <5 seconds
 Reduces storage footprint (and cost) by
over 60% since linked clones can span
multiple datastores and vCenter servers

 Create, revert back to, or remove a
snapshot
 Can be used with individual virtual
machines or vApps
Overview
Benefits
 Enables destructive testing and other
operations without risk of losing a clean
version
 Accelerates ability to perform destructive
tests without requiring new VMs or vApps
to be provisioned

vApp
Catalog
Org A
Org B
Group Users into Organizations and Delegate Access to the Catalog
 Catalogs can be customized by
organization or shared
• Users can be given permission to
create organization-wide catalogs
• Organizations can be given
permission to create datacenter-
wide catalogs
 Enables a multi-tenant
environment
• IT can serve multiple
organizations from common
infrastructure
 Multi-tier applications can be
encapsulated in Open
Virtualization Format based
vApps for flexible deployment in
any virtual datacenter

16. 16
Shared vApp Catalogs Enable Collaboration and Workload Portability
 vApps contain all of the
information required to deploy
a service
 Development Cycle Example:
• Developer end user submits a vApp to
QA by publishing to the shared catalog
• QA tester checks out the vApp from
the shared catalog
• Network isolation between vDCs
allows VMs to have identical network
settings without conflicts
 vApps can be easily migrated to
other clouds using vCloud
Connector

vCloud Case Study: Elastic Capacity Expansion
“With the right technology
behind us, we can better
respond to the needs of our
guests, owners and
employees…we are able to
test moving different
application mixes into the
cloud. We must have the
elasticity in our computing
infrastructure that the cloud
delivers while, at the same
time, use our current IT
configurations and
applications; that’s a big
win for us.”
