Jamcracker Hybrid Cloud Management vs. VMware Cloud Director

For a CSP it's the best choice. For internal uses, even in presence of different business units, it's not so easy and flexible to manage. It assures a high level of multitenancy, often not needed for internal purposes. But it could be used in this case, just not created for these purposes. Network management is great.

Incentivized

• Manages multi-tenancy very well. You can setup resource pools of compute, network, and storage that are independent of each other.
• Easy to create and manage multiple environments.
• Has lease management technology and can easily set leases and expire them based on pre-configured time frames.

Incentivized

• Logging, there is a lot of logging but is not always clear where to look for the right logging.
• The syncing of policy, you can't see if or what he did/didn't sync and the status of it.
• More integrations with VMware product (click like Availability)

Incentivized

Another option was own scripting or maintaining the end users in the backend (vcenter). This costs to much time to maintain (scripting) and has a big change of a Security breach. It was not an option for us either way.

Incentivized

• vCloud Director requires less IT administration. For example, there isn't a need to maintain esx host. or storage administration like creating luns.
• A negative impact is cost. vCloud Director has a monthly cost for storage, processor core, memory, and licensing.
