Accelerate the delivery and consumption of IT services while maintaining the security and control of the datacenter.  Built on top of VMware vSphere virtualization, VMware vCloud Director enables the consolidation of virtual infrastructure across multiple clusters, the encapsulation of application services as portable vApps, the deployment of those services on-demand with isolation and control.  

End users experience unprecedented responsiveness and agility, while IT reduces costs through increased consolidation, task automation and simplified management.  IT services can be deployed across private clouds, public clouds or both, providing the ability to scale quickly while maintaining control and minimizing risk. With VMware vCloud Director, IT becomes a service provider for the business, with all of the security and control of the existing datacenter.

Manage resources more efficiently by logically pooling infrastructure capacity into policy-based virtual datacenters.  VMware vCloud Director integrates with existing VMware vSphere deployments and extends capabilities like Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and vNetwork Distributed Switch, to provide elastic compute, storage and networking interfaces across multiple clusters. Using virtual datacenters built on top of vSphere, VMware vCloud Director enable resources to be provisioned without the need for repeated configuration or significant maintenance.

Simplify the management of virtual networks by managing VLAN and portgroup capacity in the form of network pools. Create Layer 2 network segments on the fly that can flexibly be connected to external networks, fenced using NATing and firewalls, or completely isolated from external connectivity.  Ensure secure multi-tenancy using vShield Edge technology to isolate and protect virtual datacenters.

Package and migrate workloads between clouds using open standards like the vCloud API and Open Virtualization Format (OVF).  By encapsulating multi-VM services and the associated networking policies into vApps, end users of one cloud can easily share services with one another, and IT can perform migrations with ease.

Trigger vApp operations with custom notifications in VMware vCloud Director to enable integration with existing management systems like request/approval workflow.  VMware vCloud Director enables you to customize your cloud infrastructure to meet your unique business requirements and provides the freedom of choice to deploy IT services in an enterprise hybrid cloud.
