VMware Cloud Director Primary Use Case

The main use case for VMware Cloud Director is primarily that for the customer, we are supporting the infrastructure and the VMware Cloud Director deployment, and customers are leveraging VMware Cloud Director for multi-tenancy purposes for their end customers. This means the customer we are supporting then further gives their environment to the next customer, segregating them. In a nutshell, we could say for multi-tenancy purposes, they are leveraging VMware Cloud Director and configuring separate kinds of VM image libraries, VM images, ISOs, and all. They keep separate templates for them, and for the final end customers who are leveraging them, they are using separate portals.

The primary use case is the multi-tenancy and segregating the underlying infrastructure leveraging the VMware Cloud Director layer and keeping separate tenants or creating separate organizations for each of the end users by using VMware Cloud Director.

It also has the capability to help support and provide the basic assessment for the identified infrastructure servers, which can be potential candidates for migration to public cloud services.

In the beginning, we were using VMware, also combined with AirWatch and Boxer. We configured corporate emails on mobiles and used them for MDM applications on tablets, like the launcher.

We are not using AirWatch for mobiles anymore. We are using it only for MDM for tablets with the launcher so we can control the applications our users use.

For vCloud we use a private cloud. In a distributed system, CapEx and OpEx are better. In storage, when you use a stand-alone system you have to pay much more than with a distributed system.
