La solución de datacenter virtual alojada en los nodos de COLT en Barcelona y Madrid permite un despliegue rápido y flexible de infraestructura.
Está basado en la solución de virtualización de VMware por lo que es compatible con multitud de appliances y permite crear nubes híbridas fácilmente.
2. What is the Colt enterprise vCloud?
• Enterprise-class cloud service built on an approved/certified VMware
cloud infrastructure technology
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service in a flexible, scalable and secure manner
• Delivered on highly-available and secure Colt managed infrastructure
• Delivered via private network (e.g. Colt IP VPN) or public (Internet)
• A “self-service” portal to create, configure and administer
• Self managed initially, managed service in development
• Secure multi-tenancy (isolation, firewalls, authentication)
• Application portability for existing VMware users

7. Accessing the Cloud
• Administration is via HTTPS connection to a unique customer URL
• vCloud Self-service Web portal
• vCloud Application Programming Interface (API)
• Consumption of the VMs is via the following access points:
• Public interfaces (IP Access)
• Private network (Colt IP VPN etc)
• vCloud Self-service Web portal (remote console)

9. What do customers create in vCloud?
• Virtual Machines (VMs) contained within a vApp
• What is a vApp?
– Multi-tiered VM container
– Contains one or many VMs
– Includes application-level properties and actions (such as start, stop, clone)
– Can contain unique vApp network (private to VMs within vApp)
– Provides portability of application

Hybrid Cloud is the cloud infrastructure composed of two or more clouds (private or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardised technology that enables data and application portability (APIs, management tools, etc).Three cloud varieties: Private, Public, and Hybrid. Private cloud is internal to the customers Public Cloud is a cloud infrastructure made available to the general public e.g. Amazon, Google etcHybrid cloud is bridging clouds in a seamless manner. Remain unique entities but are bound together by standard technology that enables data and application portability.The VMware vision is to facilitate the extension of a customer datacenter to a vCloud Service Provider Cloud so resources are available on demandThis bridging is achieved using a common platform, security, and management model.Bridging definition – that you have multiple clouds in your environment and have a single pane of glass to monitor these clouds and be able to import and export between these clouds through OVF format. Bridging – today (multiple clouds in the environment) eventually VMware will be able to do Federation Cloud – 2 or more interoperable clouds enabling data and application portability -- NOT TODAY – even though businesses want it.vCloud API is wide open standard – not necessarily VMware. Might been even on Zen. Just like OVF is wide open. The API is the only thing that isrequired to go from one cloud to another. And as you are growing and as you need additional capacity for seasonal peak you can expand into the public cloud for temporary capacity or build small private clouds based on where you are. This is possible because VMware is giving an open and interoperable environment enabling the customers for hybrid cloud.
