Two Paths to Virtual Infrastructure…

Change

Configure

Integrate

Procure

Test

Design

Users say, “I just want to run my workloads”

You can build the infrastructure

Or you can buy it pre-built and ready to run

Hybrid Cloud Provisioning & Management

04/13/2023

Dell VIS Admin – Private Cloud Administrator wants to burst to his ITaaS service provider who’s running VMware vCloud Director:

• Single platform to manage virtual, physical and public cloud resources

• Approvals, controls, business logic and multi-tenant policies can be applied to vCD resources – just like inside the Private Cloud

• Users request the vApp/service residing in the public vCD instance through the role based service catalog

• Users use the VIS Creator portal to manage/connect to the vCD service/vApp
