W HAT IS V C LOUD ?

▪ vCloud Suite is the industry's best cloud management

control plane for software- defined data center (SDDC)
environments based on VMware Cloud™.

▪ Native integrations across VMware technologies make

vCloud Suite the best choice for organizations building out
a multi-cloud environment based on VMware Cloud.

W HAT IS SDDC?

◼ Software-defined data center (SDDC) refers to a data center

where infrastructure is virtualized through abstraction,
resource pooling, and automation to deliver Infrastructure-
as-a-service (IAAS).
◼ Abstraction
 Hiding specifics form consumer
◼ Resource Pooling
 a group of resources that can be assigned to users
◼ Automation
 Automatically dividing tasks to sources

Vmware classifies vCloud in to two parts

◼ cloud infrastructure management solutions

◼ VMware Cloud Director (VCD)
 cloud-service delivery platform for Cloud Providers

 ◼ VMware powered public clouds use VMware vSphere,
with VMware Cloud Director, and generally with vCloud
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) exposed to its
tenants.
◼ A vSphere cluster is a set of ESXi hosts configured to share resources
such as processor, memory, network and storage.
◼ In vSphere environments, each cluster can accommodate a maximum
of 32 ESXi hosts, with each host supporting up to 1024 VMs.
