Note Deployments from catalogs or moving/cloning vApps across vCenter Server systems results in a different copy process than within vCenter Server. The copy process within vCenter Server is handled by ESXi hosts directly through a storage network or network file copy protocol. The copy process across vCenter Server systems results in an OVF export that is staged and copied through the vCloud Director cell transfer storage. This process is much slower with a higher impact on the infrastructure (network bandwidth, vCloud Director cell compute, and transfer storage).
