VMware Cloud Director

What is VMware Cloud Director?

The VMware vCloud Suite is a comprehensive cloud infrastructure solution that streamlines IT operations and delivers reliable service-level agreements (SLAs) for all applications. VMware Cloud Director, the flagship cloud services platform, serves as a pervasive control plane for cloud providers' service-delivery needs and the management entity for a global VMware cloud estate. This platform enables seamless provisioning and consumption of cloud computing resources and services to geographically distributed lines of business and IT teams through an API-driven approach VMware Cloud Director allows businesses to transform physical data centers or multiple data centers across different locations into Virtual Data Centers (VDCs). Within these VDCs, users can elastically provision network, storage, and compute resources, and cloud providers can define and offer services to users through a service catalog. The platform helps improve resource utilization in data centers and reduces operational overhead. It also provides an API-based approach to enable easy automation and customizability for users, allowing them to monetize their services by publishing a tailored service suite with integrated billing
