VMware Orchestrator is a free vCenter feature that helps automate VMware vCloud Suite, vSphere
and other virtualization management system processes.
Orchestrator's workflow engine
can be used to automate bulk operations and create workflow processes for integrating existing
third-party tools. It can be installed as a virtual
appliance, a vCenter add-on or a standalone product for a Windows Server
installation.
Orchestrator, which can be accessed through a Web or client interface, comes with a library of
pre-defined workflows as well as a drag-and-drop tool for linking actions together to produce
customized workflows to meet specific business needs. Orchestrator also permits the use of custom
scripts for more advanced workflow and application program interface (API)
design.
