Compute, Storage, Networking and Security: Commonly referred to as infrastructure-as-a-service
(IaaS), Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand standardizes compute resources, complemented by storage
infrastructure and networking capabilities, and offers these IaaS resources to customers on-demand.
Customers are able to self-provision these resources independently based on their resource needs.
See Chapter 3, “Working with Virtual Machines,” on page 27, “Overview of Storage Tiers,”
on page 29, and the vCloud Air – Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand Networking Guide.
n
Application and OS Catalogs: Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand includes access to the VMware Public
Catalog—an operating system and application catalog of commonly-used, pre-configured workloads
for Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand. Customers can deploy workloads from the public catalog into
their environments on a pay-as-you-go basis.
See “Catalogs and Templates Overview,” on page 55 for information.
n
Bring Your Own Licenses: VMware provides guidance on how to use existing third-party software
licenses with Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand. VMware works with leading operating system and
application vendors to determine licensing requirements so that customers understand their options for
license mobility into Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand.
