If you are designing enterprise wide Orchestration you may need to consider more than a single instance of vCenter Orchestrator. The vCenter Orchestrator Multi-Node Plug-in can help you doing so with offering the ability of a vCenter Orchestrator server to remote control other vCenter Orchestrator servers.

What this plug-in provides is:

  • Publish the remote vCenter Orchestrator library elements  (Configurations, Packgaesm Workflows, Actions and Resources) in the master vCenter Orchestrator inventory
  • Publish the remote vCenter Orchestrator inventory elements (vCenter, vCloud Director, Microsoft AD, Cisco UCS, ...) in the master vCenter Orchestrator inventory
  • Provide remote operations to start, stop, cancel remote workflows
  • Provide remote operation to synchronize packages

These are advanced remoting capabilities providing a lot more flexibility than the existing nested remote workflow capability. Despite the name it is not a clustering capability.
