A more pragmatic approach to multi-site setups is to configure isolated vCloud instances at each site. This solves the network cross-talk issue, but it introduces other problems. For example, how do you provide a common set of services across the different sites? How do you keep organization names and rights as well as catalogs, networks, storage, and other information common across the different sites? Currently, there is no mechanism to do this in vCloud Director, but using other VMware technologies included in the vCloud suite of products it is possible to synchronize vCloud deployments using automation scripts to provide common sets of services across locations.

In an enterprise, a private vCloud maps to a single site. Multiple vCloud instances can be connected using vCloud Connector for offline vApp migrations.
