1.Would require purchases outside of the vCloud Suite including vFabric Hyperic, vCenter Operations Management Suite Enterprise Edition 2.Remediation limited to VMware best practices thus lacking in application-specific remediation guidance 3.Lab Manager deprecated, with customers expected to upgrade to vCloud Director, which has no connections with Development IDE.

Fabric Hypervisor OS Management Application Frameworks

1.vCloud Automation Center focuses on provisioning VMs to alternative hypervisors, whilst the Multi-Hypervisor Manager plug-in for vCenter offers only very basic capabilities. vCAC support limited to 2008 R2/SP1 & VMM vCenter Orchestrator has a limited number of 3 rd party plug-ins. 3.vCenter Operations Management Suite requires the purchase of 3 rd Party adaptors to integrate.
