vCloud director
Orchestrate provisioning of software defined datacenters as complete virtualized datacenters.
these provide virtualized compute,storage and netw sec.
VSphere
with vsphere, the vmware cloud os, large pools of virtualised computing infrastructure can be managed including software and hardware.
Enabled IT admins to have simple automated control over the virtual environments.
vCloud connector
Delivers comprehensive operation center for hybrid cloud environments.
Seamless workload transfer with checkpoint/restart.
one network, one catalog and one cloud.
vCloud networking and security
Its the leading software defined net&sec solution that enhances operational efficiency.
Offers many services within a single solution like virtual firewall, vpn and load balancing
Security scans for sensitive data and reports violations of regulations
vCloud site recovery manager
Enables user to protect their data and RECOVER applications running on vsphere.
Storage replication to replicate all vms to another site and orchestrate disaster recovery planning.
vCenter operations management
Performance and capacity optimization - dashboard
Delivers quality of service, operational efficiency and compliance for hybrid cloud.
Dramatically simplifies management tasks.
vCenter Infrastructure Navigator
a navigator discovers
Automatically discovers applications running on virtual machines within a vsphere environment
Fully integrates with vcenter server, allowing admins to view applications relationships directly.
provides visual representation of how applications and services depend upon each other
vCenter Chargeback Manager
Cost analysis and chargeback tool.
Designed to provide visibility into resource consumption and allow admins to allocate IT costs based on usage.
vCloud automation center
Offers a user friendly portal for end users to request resources like vms and applications.
Automates the provisioning of Iaas, Paas, Saas for public, private and hybrid cloud environments.
Automates the entire lifecycle of IT resources.
Integration with vcenter orchestrator and director.
vCenter configuration manager
Automates the configuration management across cloud environments.
Enterprises can use configuration manager to continuously audit the configurations done to the infrastructure
Accelerates the adoption of cloud computing and virtualization.
Advantages of vcloud?
Reduced costs- provides significant cost savings with help of insight and ability to reduce vms
Efficient capacity- being able to switch off vms that are not in use
Better monitoring- Can find IT service incident and provides the ability to resolve the issue before it impacts the service.
Networking SDN
Software defined networking -> VMware’s cloud solution to virtualize and automate networking in cloud environments.
Largely powered by NSX-> vmware’s sdn platform
Automates routing and packet switching process within vms and cloud environments
Integrates 3rd party netw sec services like intrusion detection
