VMware vCloud Director Evaluator’s Guide

2. What is the VMware Private Cloud?

VMware’s private cloud is a solution that yields improved IT eciency and agility while enhancing security and

choice. Private clouds built on VMware provide the beneﬁts of cloud computing while leveraging a customer’s

existing investments. At the same time, deploying a VMware private cloud provides an organization with an

evolutionary path to the highly scalable, high-performance public clouds being built by the top service providers

on the vSphere platform. By adopting the leading platform chosen by the largest number of enterprises and

service providers, customers gain the choice to place each of their workloads in the optimal location, while fully

retaining the ability to move workloads between or across private and public cloud infrastructure providers.

The VMware private cloud solution consists of VMware vCloud Director 1.0, vShield Edge and VMware vCenter

Chargeback 1.5.

Figure 2-1.

VMware vCloud Director is a software solution that enables enterprises to build secure, multitenant private

clouds by pooling infrastructure resources into virtual datacenters and exposing them to users through

Web-based portals and programmatic interfaces as fully automated, catalog-based services.

By building secure and cost-eective private clouds with vSphere and VMware vCloud Director, internal IT

organizations can act as true service providers for the businesses they support, driving innovation and agility

while increasing IT eciency and enhancing security. This solution provides a pragmatic path to cloud

computing by giving customers the power to leverage existing investments and the ﬂexibility to extend capacity

among clouds.

Integrated vShield Edge technologies such as perimeter protection, port-level ﬁrewalling, network address

translation and DHCP services oer virtualization-aware security, simplify application deployment, and enforce

boundaries required by compliance standards in the private cloud.

VMware vCenter Chargeback is a software solution that allows IT organizations to gain visibility into the costs of

provisioned virtual machines to facilitate planning and decision making. It also enables IT organizations to meter

and charge users based on policies.
