VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Evaluation Guide
To simplify the evaluation process further, this guide leverages the benefits provided by the virtual appliances
for both vCenter Server and vCloud Director. Use of these appliances eliminates the need to configure additional
databases, because each of the appliances provides an embedded database.
The second logical part of this evaluation environment is the resource cluster. It comprises a set of vSphere hosts
that actually host the workloads for vCloud Director. In this evaluation environment, four additional vSphere
hosts are used for this purpose. These vSphere hosts are managed by the vCenter Server instance located in the
management cluster that is to be attached to the vCloud Director instance.
