Virtual Datacenter Cloud Framework (VDCF)
VDCF is a platform management framework for the Solaris Operating System. VDCF allows to deploy, patch, operate, migrate, secure and monitor a virtualized data center based on Solaris 10 and 11 Zones (Containers) and/or Logical Domains controlled by a centralized management server. Using VDCF you can easily combine both virtualization technologies to get the most flexibility and benefit for your agile Enterprise Grade Private Cloud environment.
On a central management server you create definitions and configurations, which are stored in the Configuration Repository. This information is then used by VDCF to populate physical servers with a Solaris build from which virtual servers or Logical Domains are created. Then VDCF is used to manage the whole life cycle of these objects: create, migrate, detach/attach, start/stop, patch, compare, monitor, secure, disaster recovery, automated software deployment, …
VDCF helps to safe time, deploy faster, avoid errors and build a standardized Environment.
