# How to Use Private Cloud within a vRack

The OVHcloud vRack feature makes it possible to connect different cloud services with each other, within one or more secure private networks (VLANs).

**This guide explains how to set the solution up with a Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure.**

## Requirements

- A [vRack](https://us.ovhcloud.com/network/vrack/) service in your account or order one if needed
- Being an administrative contact of your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://us.ovhcloud.com/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/) to receive login credentials
- A user account with access to vSphere (created in the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/#/hub))

## Instructions

### OVHcloud Control Panel

After your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://us.ovhcloud.com/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/) is delivered, it will be displayed in the `vRack` section in your [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/#/hub).

To access it:

1. Go to the `Bare Metal Cloud` section.
2. Click on `Network`.
3. Then click on `vRack`.

 

Select your vRack from the list and the "datacenter" will be automatically included into a vRack.

You can move the "datacenter" of your Private Cloud to another vRack by selecting it and clicking on the `Move` button.

 

### vSphere client

In the vSphere client, you can find vRack-capable VLANs in the `Networks` section, located in the _vrack_ folder.

**Tip:**

By default, OVHcloud delivers an infrastructure with 11 VLANs included (VLAN10 to VLAN20).

You can change their settings or create them again by following [this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/create-vlan.md).

You can then assign these _Distributed Port Groups_ to the network interfaces of your virtual machines.
