Integrated Management Experience for Cloud Creation

Resources define the physical infrastructure capacity that will form the basis of the cloud. Supports VMware Resource pools. Logical Networks & Load Balancers Admins can define Logical Networks and managed Load Balancers, that can be used by VMs & Services in the cloud. Storage the Cloud abstracts the underlying storage in favor of classifications for simplified placement experience. Capacity Define the scale boundaries for the cloud

Role-Based Administration
Granular Control and Delegated Access to Cloud Resources
VMM allows IT Admins to define granular administrative and self-service roles for consumers of the fabric and cloud Application Administrator has least privilege, and can consume in self-service manner only Seamless integration with Active Directory Users can be scoped to multiple clouds Quotas can be defined at the role and member levels for granular capacity management Control the VM Networks users can deploy virtual machines onto Global and Cloud-specific permissions

Rich, self-service experience for VM and app management

Self-Service Silverlight based web experience for users to consume VMs, applications and services, managed by VMM Service Providers Through the Service Provider Foundation, users can consume clouds from on premise, and Service-Provider capacity

Delegation VMM roles are reflected in App Controller presenting users with their content and their capacity boundaries
Deployment Users can deploy from Templates, or Service Templates and can upgrade services if allowed by role settings

Access Console and RDP access to VMs is provided, if allows by role settings
