 vCloud workflow

To setup the vCloud you can follow the below steps:
  • Install VMware ESXi hypervisor on servers.
  • Configure VMware vCenter Server.
  • Deploy VMware vCloud director (Will be replaced by vCloud Automation soon) and VMWare vShield for Network Security.
The vCloud Director directly talks to VMware vCenter for any new VM provisioning and creating the virtual datacenter. These virtual datacenters and VM access will be given to the cloud end user based on the requirement.

How vCloud can provide different level of service to the end user ?

We need to go one more level deeper than above image to understand the vCloud setup.In vCloud , we can create a number of virtual datacenter based on service level.

Example:
  • Provider virtual DC GOLD –  Gold SAN storage and high availability computing nodes.(vMotion + DRS + HA)
  • Provider virtual DC SILVER-  Silver SAN storage and high availability computing nodes.(vMotion + HA)
  • Provider virtual DC Bronze –  Bronze SAN storage and without high availability for computing.


We will be just giving access to the Organization’s virtual datacenters to the end consumers. Cloud offering company will allot some set of resources to the organization based on the requirement.  For an example, one organization may need different level of service resources like below and it is possible to provide using VMware vCloud.
