Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand 2
Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand is designed based on the following themes.
n
Simplicity; especially for virtual machine creation
n
Visibility into resource usage
n
On demand usage and billing report access
Depending on your access rights, Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand provides access to functionality in four
areas: Resource Usage, Virtual Machines, Gateways (administrators only), and Networks. How you
navigate these areas of the interface varies depending on your access rights.
n
Administrators: administrators have access to four global tabs: Resource Usage, Virtual Machines,
Gateways, and Networks.
n
End users: users who are part of the End User role, have access to the Virtual Machines tab. Selecting a
virtual machine displays a Resource Usage tab, Settings tab, and Networks tab for that virtual
machine.
See “Role-based User Account Management,” on page 56 for information about the access roles in
Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand.

Service Initialization and Home Page
After logging in, you land on Home page. Here you find tiles for your services registered with vCloud Air
(formerly known as vCloud Hybrid Service).
Selecting Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand for the first time provisions your first virtual data center (with
2.6vGHz vCPUs), a gateway, and a routed network automatically. You can use the default configuration to
gain immediate access to your public cloud and deploy your first virtual machine.
