Title: vCloud Connector

Description: In this video I’ll show how to deploy the vCloud Connector virtual appliance and connect it to a vCenter server instance. vCloud Connector (vCC) allows the vSphere Administrators to use their familiar vSphere Client as a single pane-of-glass view across hybrid clouds. It’s also a great tool when you have to transfer virtual machines between multiple vCenter servers. They can perform the following operations See a list of virtual machines, vApps, virtual machine templates, and vApp templates on vSphere and vCloud Director-based private and public clouds (including vCloud Datacenter Services). Copy virtual machines, vApps, virtual machine templates, and vApp templates between vSphere and vCloud Director-based private and public clouds. Perform basic operations (for example, power on/off, suspend, reset, delete) on virtual machines and vApps in vSphere and vCloud Director-based private and public clouds. Deploy vApp templates as vApps (fenced mode) in vCloud Director-based private and public clouds. Access vCloud vApp consoles Directly launch the vCloud URL
