Introducing Hybrid Cloud Manager™
vCloud® Air Hybrid Cloud Manager™ enables bidirectional VM mobility and migration to the cloud and back, and hybrid
networking to extend on-premises vSphere vCenter networks into vCloud Air.
Data transport features: network extension, WAN optimization, Multi-tenant WAN with Intelligent Routing, and path
fail-over.
Security features: Suite B-compliant AES-GCM with IKEv2, data deduplication and compression, AES-NI Offload, Flow-
based Admission Control. Hybrid Cloud Manager owns the source and destination encryption and decryption, ensuring a
consistent security policy and providing admission for hybrid workflows like virtual machine migration and network
extension.
Hybrid Cloud Manager features can be deployed in several ways:
• Hybrid Networking (Layer 2 Extension). Securely extend your vSphere vCenter to integrate with a vCloud Air Virtual
Data Center (vDC). Configure networking connections to support high-speed connections.
• Can stretch multiple L2 segments
• Can route stretched networks via Cloud Gateway for encryption and through the WAN optimization appliance to
provide a secure and optimized path through the Internet to vCloud Air
