How to Utilize Leaseweb’s VMware vCloud
Software Development and Testing

Thanks to the self-service capabilities of vCloud, you can also manage your environment with ease.
Host your Web or Mobile Applications
Leaseweb vCloud supports load balancing, allowing you to distribute incoming application traffic across multiple virtual machines for improved performance and high availability. This is important for web or mobile applications with varying levels of user traffic. Also, with Leaseweb VMware vCloud, you have the ability to scale the resources available for your applications both vertically and horizontally. This adaptability ensures that your applications can handle varying workloads without any degradation in performance.
Host your Enterprise Businesses
Do you have branch offices or remote sites in different geographical locations across continents? With the use of Leaseweb VMware vCloud, you can quickly set up multiple virtual data centers and deploy workloads closer to where they are needed. Additionally, we give you the ability to create multiple virtual data centers and place similar workloads together, facilitating efficient grouping and isolation of various business units or departments, all within one organization. This approach provides optimal control over resource allocation per unit or department.
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)
As an SME, you can leverage Leaseweb VMware vCloud to access enterprise-level cloud services without the complexities of managing the underlying infrastructure. We provide a cost-effective and scalable solution that caters to your varying workload demands. This offers you an operational expenditure (OpEx) model, which allows you as an SME to scale your infrastructure as needed, promoting cost-efficiency and agility without the requirement for large up-front investments.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Are you seeking a cloud solution that would guarantee business continuity in the event of an unforeseen disruption? You can utilize our Leaseweb VMware vCloud offering to implement protection for your critical workloads. With the disaster recovery feature offered as an add-on to our VMware vCloud product, businesses like yours can ensure the continuity of critical applications and data in case of a disaster at the primary cloud-hosted site. Virtual machines and their associated data can also be replicated between data centers managed by Leaseweb. Currently, disaster recovery with VMware vCloud is available in selected Leaseweb data centers.
Leaseweb VMware vCloud key features
Management UI
The vCloud Director tenant UI serves as the perfect tool for managing your virtual data center. The web-based UI gives you the ability to interact with and manage all your workloads via a graphical interface, allowing you to create virtual machines, group them into vApps, create networks and manage them, all within the VMware Cloud Director panel. Simple and easy.
Powered by VMware, Managed by Leaseweb
VMware is a global leader in cloud infrastructure and digital workspace technology, equipped to support your virtual resources with a cutting-edge roadmap. Leaseweb’s experts manage, patch and upgrade the underlying physical hardware, external network components, day-to-day data center operations and provide continuous support so you can focus on what truly matters — the core of your business.
Public and Private Connections
Public network connections are possible through vCloud’s Edge Gateway which provides routing to an external network and controls the north-south traffic. The Edge Gateway allows you to create routed networks and assignment of public IPs to resources within the virtual data center. It can also include services such as firewall, DHCP, NAT, routing, load balancer and VPNs.
Internal network
vCloud offers the ability to create isolated internal networks with private IP addresses, enabling local connectivity between VMs within the same virtual data center. This means you can properly isolate sensitive workloads, such as your database services from operations focused on user engagement, or those directly exposed to users. This separation is achieved by situating them on distinct internal networks, ensuring enhanced security and isolation.
vApp Templates and Rapid Provisioning
With vApp templates, you can create pre-configured bundles of virtual machines and applications, streamlining the process of deploying new environments. This feature gives you the benefit of accelerating the time-to-market for applications, by enabling rapid provisioning and reducing manual configuration efforts.
Firewall and Advanced Load Balancer
Leaseweb VMware vCloud customers are offered, by default, a Firewall and Load Balancer both configured to guarantee high availability. These are included in the monthly pricing and can be upgraded whenever you need.
