VMware vCloud Automation Center:
Enables customized, self-service provisioning and lifecycle management of cloud
services that comply with established business policies. It provides a secure portal
where authorized administrators, developers, or business users can request new
IT services as well as manage existing computer resources from predefined user-
specific menus.
Business-aware governance and control allows IT administrators to apply their own
way of doing business to the cloud without changing organizational processes or
policies. Enterprises gain the flexibility needed for business units to have different
service levels, policies, and automation processes, as appropriate for their needs.
• Gain business agility and operational efficiency with a policy-based approach to
automating the governance and delivery of infrastructure and desktop services.
• Accelerate the deployment of business relevant cloud services across multi-
vendor virtual and physical infrastructures in private and public clouds.
• Leverage vCloud Director environments to benefit from policy-based virtual
datacenters built on pooled infrastructure resources and software-define
networking, security, storage and availability services.
• Quickly demonstrate the value of a cloud infrastructure deployment to secure
organizational buy-in and management commitment.
