VMware Cloud Director
New path in VMware landscape: VMware Cloud Director
The top choice for your VMware-driven platform - managed, shared, and affordable.
VMware Cloud Director (VCD) is an alternative to your current VMware infrastructure. It is powered by VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and fully aligned with VMware’s latest strategic direction. Benefit from the comfort of a managed, shared, and cost-effective solution to limit the financial impact of the VMware acquisition.
At OVHcloud, we are fully committed to achieving our long-term objectives: creating an open, trusted, and sustainable cloud with the best value for performance.
The soon-to-be launched VMware Cloud Director attests to OVHcloud’s unwavering focus on developing and delivering VMware-based solutions that align with Broadcom’s strategic decisions. VMware Cloud Director (VCD) broadens our portfolio of VCF-based solutions.
Why choose VMware Cloud Director (VCD)?
Managed VMware platform
Ease your workload with our managed multitenant solution, compliant with the VCF model and VMware’s new strategy.
Reversible and future-proof services
Choose a solution that supports your growth, with zero vendor lock-in, and ingress and egress traffic offered free of charge.
High availability
Forget about paying extra costs to get high availability. VCD ensures high availability by automatically moving your VMs to a new vDC (virtual datacenter).
Scale up your VMware Cloud Director environment
Create your custom cloud environment
Deploy a VMware environment, or Virtual Datacenter (vDC), with the compute pack that matches your requirements. You can pick from our Standard or Advanced ranges to scale up as needed.
Compute resources
Choose additional compute resource packs to set up a VMware environment, or add more storage to suit your needs. We give you maximum flexibility to meet your needs.
| Resource pack | vCPU | RAM (GB) | VCD Standard Price per month* | VCD Advanced with NSX Price per month* |
| General Purpose | 16 vCPUs | 64 GB | €299 ex. VAT/month | €375 ex. VAT/month |
* Monthly fees applicable until 31 December 2025 for all additional Managed VCD resources ordered by 30 November 2025 at the latest. This offer is reserved for customers who have agreed to migrate their Hosted Private Cloud VMware on OVHcloud service to the Managed VCD service in 2024. This offer cannot be combined with other discounts. Subscription is subject to prior acceptance of OVHcloud’s contractual conditions.
To keep vDC environments separate, you can create multiple virtual datacentres in different sizes.
For example:
- Virtual Datacenter 1: 1 General Purpose pack = 16 vCPUs and 64 GB memory available
- Virtual Datacenter 2: 3 General Purpose packs = 48 vCPUs and 192 GB memory available
Note: OVHcloud offers also a private cloud solution you can use to physically isolate your environments. Find out more
Additional NFS storage
Get more resources for your virtual datacentres with additional VCD-dedicated shared NFS storage. You don’t have to choose between performance and flexibility with our storage solution — it efficiently meets both needs. This solution is ideal for businesses looking to scale efficiently without overspending.
