Understanding VMware Cloud
Director 1
VMware® Cloud Director has components that are visible to and are used by organization administrators,
catalog authors, vApp authors, and vApp users. They access the components from a role-based, Web console.
Cloud Director provides the interface, automation, and management features that allow enterprises and service
providers to supply vSphere resources as a Web-based service. The system administrator creates the
organization and assigns resources. After the organization is created, the system administrator emails the
organization's URL to the administrator assigned to the organization. Using the URL, the organization
administrator logs in to the organization and sets it up, configures resource use, adds users, and selects
organization-specific profiles and settings. Users create, use, and manage virtual machines and vApps.
Organizations are composed of these components.
nvApps, which are composed of one or more virtual machines that communicate over networks and use
resources and services.
nUsers and groups, which define the users and groups that belong to an organization.
nOrganization virtual datacenters (vDC), which is a collection of virtual resources that are assigned to an
organization by the system administrator. An organization can have multiple organization vDCs.
nCatalogs, which is a container for these components.
nvApp templates
nMedia files (floppy disks and ISO images)
Each organization has a unique login URL, and locally-created and LDAP-imported users exist and operate
only in this organization. The settings in each organization are independent from settings made to other
organizations. An exception is SMTP settings that can be made on a per-organization or by inheriting the
settings in Cloud Director's default SMTP server.
