JomaSoft provides the Virtual Datacenter Control Framework (VDCF) tool for managing Solaris virtualization technologies like LDoms and zones. VDCF allows for centralized installation, operation, migration, monitoring and failover of virtual environments. It has been in production use since 2006 supporting both Solaris 10 and 11 on SPARC and x86 hardware. VDCF aims to simplify management of the virtual datacenter and provide high availability, disaster recovery and flexibility through dynamic virtualization and live migration capabilities.

VDCF - Goals
Central view and control of the virtual data center
Standardization: uniform System configuration
As easy as possible for the System administrator
Consistent interfaces for admins (Solaris 10 and 11)
Avoid mistakes: Fully automated Installation & Migration
Flexible: Hardware can be mixed, VDCF adapts the configuration
when migrating
Reduce Complexity: Layer above Solaris / Hide the details
„Best Practices“ are integrated ongonig into the product
Cheap and easy solution for failover and DR

VDCF - main benefits
Simplicity
Deploy and manage Virtual Solaris Environments without a deep Solaris
knowledge using only a handful of intuitive VDCF commands
Standardization
Zones and LDoms are deployed using supported Solaris technologies,
managed in a standard way and able to be deployed and available for
use in minutes rather than hours.
Availability / Recovery
VDCF allows manual or automatic control of server migration or fail-
over leading to improved options in availability, disaster recovery and
performance.
