**What is Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple?**
2828

29-
VMware Solution by CloudSimple transforms and extends VMware workloads to private, dedicated clouds on Azure in minutes. The solution provisions, manages the infrastructure, and orchestrates workloads between on-premises and Azure. Because your apps run exactly the same on-premises and in Azure, you benefit from the elasticity and services of the cloud without the complexity of rearchitecting your apps. CloudSimple lowers your total cost of ownership with a cloud consumption model that provides on-demand provisioning, pay-as-you-grow, and capacity optimization. For features, benefits, and scenarios, see [What is Azure VMware Solution by CloudSimple?](cloudsimple-vmware-solutions-overview.md).

**What is a CloudSimple private cloud?**
3232

33-
You provision a private, dedicated cloud that consists of a high-performance compute, storage, and networking environment deployed on Microsoft Azure infrastructure (hardware and datacenter space) in Azure locations. The private cloud provides a native VMware platform as a service. In VMware terms, each private cloud contains exactly one instance of the vCenter Server. The vCenter Server manages multiple ESXi nodes contained in one or more vSphere clusters, along with the corresponding virtual SAN storage. A CloudSimple service can contain multiple private clouds in your Azure subscription. For more information about private clouds, see [Private cloud overview](cloudsimple-private-cloud.md).

You can create VLANs on your private cloud from your CloudSimple portal. After you create the VLAN, you can create a distributed port group on your private cloud vCenter by using the VLAN and create virtual machines connected to the distributed port group. You can enable a firewall table for the VLAN or subnet and define firewall rules to secure network traffic.

As part of the CloudSimple service, all CloudSimple customers get dedicated bare-metal hosts with local attached disks that are physically isolated from other tenant hardware. An ESXi hypervisor with a virtual SAN runs on every node. The nodes are managed through customer-dedicated VMware, vCenter, and NSX. Not sharing hardware between tenants provides an additional layer of isolation and security protection.
