Architecture
vCloud Request Manager layers over the top of vCloud Director and communicates with it primarily through
the vCloud API. In this way, a single instance of vCloud Request Manager can support multiple private clouds
and even public cloud providers, delivering a unified end user portal and request management across a hybrid
cloud.
