This morning at VMworld in San Francisco, BlueLock officially released our newest cloud technology, the BlueLock CloudConnector, a hybrid cloud enabler. We are also announcing our selection as one of three North American vCloud Datacenter providers.

With BlueLock CloudConnector VMware customers can immediately realize the benefits of the next generation of cloud capabilities provided by VMware’s vCloud Director, the cloud delivery platform for vCloud Datacenter (also introduced this morning). vCloud Director adds new capabilities such as the ability to move workloads between VMware-compatible clouds (public and/or private) in a secure environment.

BlueLock CloudConnector for vCloud Director allows current VMware customers to view and manage their existing VMware environment (their private cloud) and BlueLock’s VMware-based public cloud resources in the vSphere Client control panel they already have, making the transition to a hybrid cloud even easier for existing VMware administrators. 

vCloud Datacenter
As one of only three North American VMware vCloud Datacenter providers selected by VMware, BlueLock provides enterprise-class public cloud infrastructure with compatible management, security, application portability and business agility to businesses of all sizes.  Use of the same VMware technology provides common management and security model enabling workloads to move between internal datacenters and the BlueLock Public Cloud.

vCloud Datacenter is an enterprise-class cloud built on VMware’s cloud infrastructure technology including VMware vSphere, vCloud Director, and vShield security. vCloud Datacenter delivers consistent and auditable security and performance through SAS-70-Type-II certifications as well as technical capabilities such as network isolation, role-based access control and directory services integration.
