VMware Cloud Foundation planning, made easier

Three independent tools built to plan, size, and document VMware Cloud Foundation 9 deployments — all client-side, no backend, nothing to install.

The tools

VCF Network Planner

Design a compliant VMware Cloud Foundation 9 network topology end to end, then export it straight into your build documentation.

  • Guided workflow from overview through Management Domain, Platform Services, Workload Domains, VLAN design, appliances, and VIPs
  • Supports both VCF 9.0 and VCF 9.1 architecture rules
  • Auto-generates VLAN tables, IP/FQDN allocations, and VIP pools from your topology
  • Built-in validation flags issues as Blocker, Warning, or Info
  • Models Consolidated, Single-Site, and Stretched Cluster (vMSC) topologies independently for Management and Workload Domains
  • Exports to a five-sheet Excel workbook or JSON, with JSON re-import for iterative planning

VCF Planning & Preparation Workbook

An interactive, browser-only replacement for Broadcom's 27-sheet VCF 9.1 Planning & Preparation Excel workbook.

  • 19 guided pages covering 600+ fields across all 27 original workbook sheets
  • Live sizing calculator for Management Domain host requirements (CPU, RAM, disk per host)
  • Supports VCF and VVF deployment types, plus New Fleet, Additional Instance, Workload Domain, and Additional Cluster modes
  • Validates VLAN conflicts, IP conflicts, CIDR overlaps, and FQDN formatting as you go
  • Imports an existing Broadcom .xlsx workbook or a VCF Installer JSON to pre-fill the form
  • Exports to JSON, a Markdown As-Built report, a CSV IPAM table, or a VCF Installer SddcSpec JSON ready to POST

VCF Design Decision Library

Browse, filter, edit, and export nearly a thousand VMware Cloud Foundation design decisions, with the blueprint reference data to back each one.

  • Close to 1,000 design decisions spanning VCF 9.0 and 9.1 across 28 components
  • Switch between 5 VCF Fleet blueprint topologies (single site, minimal footprint, multi-site, multi-region) with their host, VLAN, and networking requirements
  • Full-text search plus filters by component, type, category, status, and criticality
  • Click-to-edit any decision's type, status, criticality, justification, implication, or notes
  • Star decisions individually or in bulk, then export to Excel in the original format
  • Import an updated Design Library .xlsx or add temporary session-only decisions
