• Deliver a single, cost-effective
framework for comprehensive
protection of your cloud deployments.
VMware vShield provides a
programmable framework for
third-party solutions to integrate
and extend into monitoring and
management services.
For organizations of all sizes, VMware
vShield helps unlock cloud benefits
by delivering agile, dynamic and cost-
effective security to ensure a smooth
transition for your cloud deployments.
Service Catalog and Self-Service
for the Cloud
VMware is developing new solutions
to further enable cloud computing.
VMware vCloud Director builds upon
the VMware vSphere foundation
and exposes virtualized shared
infrastructure as multi-tenant virtual
datacenters that are completely
decoupled from the underlying
hardware and isolated from one
another. VMware vCloud Director also
allows IT to expose virtual datacenters
to users through a Web-based portal
and to define and expose a catalog
of IT services that can be deployed
within the virtual datacenter.
Using VMware technology, you can
now deliver standardized IT services
on shared infrastructure through a
Web-based catalog. By standardizing
service offerings, you can simplify
many IT management tasks—from
troubleshooting and patching
to change management—and
eliminate much of the administrative
maintenance that burdens your IT
team today. You can also automate
provisioning through policy-based
workflows that empower validated
users to deploy preconfigured
