existing vSphere client.

existing vSphere, vCloud Director, vCloud service provider environment
into or out of your vCloud Air environment.
Sync catalogs
The Content Sync feature of vCloud Connector allows you to synchronize
your vCloud Air My Catalog with any of your existing vSphere folders or
vCloud Director catalogs. This enables using the same templates across
different clouds. For information, see Using Content Sync in the Using
vCloud Conector guide.
Move keeping same IP/MAC
addresses
The Stretch Deploy feature of vCloud Connector allows you to move a
vSphere virtual machine or vApp, or a vCloud Director vApp into
vCloud Air while retaining its IP/MAC address so you can continue access
without any change. For information, see Offline Data Transfer to VMware
vCloud Air in the Using vCloud Conector guide.
Offline data transfer
Move large quantities of virtual machines, vApps, or templates at one time
to vCloud Air by subscribing to the Offline Data Transfer Service. For
information, see Using Stretch Deploy (Datacenter Extension) in the Using
vCloud Conector guide.
