- Provides a user-friendly designer to customize workflows based on your business processes and needs.
- Launch complex workflows directly from the vSphere Web client.
- Install with a production ready virtual appliance or directly on Windows server.
- Includes vast libraries of pre-defined workflows and many additional VMware and 3rd party plug-ins that can be downloaded from the VMware Solutions Exchange.

Automate Complex Workflows
The workflow engine is delivered as a production-ready virtual appliance and the workflow itself is now accessible directly from within the vSphere Client, allowing you to quickly integrate vSphere with other VMware solutions such as vCloud Director, vCenter Update Manager, vCenter Chargeback Manager, and vCenter Configuration Manager. The newly designed user interface is configurable to support the business needs and provides a workflow designer to help administrators and architects quickly standardize repeated tasks and actions. Partners and customers alike can also leverage the vCenter Orchestrator Plug-In Software Development Kit to quickly create plug-ins to management systems for IT Service Management, IP Address Managements, Storage Management, Load Balancing and other systems.
Integration with vSphere Web Client
The newly redesigned vSphere Web Client allows IT administrators and operators to launch pre-built and custom workflows from a single UI, thereby simplifying operations. Additionally, users can leverage the vCenter Orchestrator REST API from their other applications to execute workflows.
Develop Workflows with Workflow Designer
With an easy-to-use interface and the ability to develop workflows with a few short clicks users can:
- Easily drag and drop actions and workflows to automate complex processes.
- Accelerate IT operations by using pre-built workflows to automate tasks and actions.
Install as Virtual Appliance
vCenter Orchestrator also installs as a virtual appliance and is pre-configured and ready-to-use in minutes. The virtual appliance significantly reduces the time and skill required to deploy vCenter Orchestrator and provides a low-cost alternative to the traditional Windows-based installation.
