 Define which users have access to specific resources and processes

service tier
 Reserve dedicated computer resources for a group from a shared physical infrastructure
 Utilize workflows for building, managing, reclaiming, decommissioning, and archiving each
machine
 Define group membership and user rights

3.3 Dell Cloud Connectivity using VMware vCloud Connector
VMware vCloud Connector lets you view, operate on and transfer your computing resources across
vSphere and vCloud Director in your private cloud environment, as well as Dell vCloud public cloud.
 Expand your view across hybrid clouds. Use a "single pane of glass" management interface that
seamlessly spans your private vSphere and public Dell vCloud environment.
 Extend your datacenter. Move VMs, vApps, and templates from private vSphere to a Dell
vCloud to free up your on-premise datacenter resources as needed.
 Consume cloud resources with confidence. Run Development, QA, and production workloads
using Dell vCloud, a VMware technology-based public cloud.
The Dell Cloud with VMware vCloud™ Datacenter is an enterprise-class, multi-tenant infrastructure-as-
a-service (IaaS) public cloud solution that is hosted in secured Dell data centers. Utilizing VMware
vCloud Connector, Dell Cloud provides you with unique hybrid cloud capabilities to extend your internal
data center with Dell and VMware by transitioning your VMware virtualized workloads into our vCloud
data center. vCloud hosting provides you with a secure, manageable and flexible public cloud
application.
