This plug-in is actually an extension of the Orchestrator platform and provides the ability to connect multiple remote vCOs in linked mode: remote inventory browsing, remote asynch/synch execution of workflows, automatic deployment of packages and workflows.

- A tool for hierarchical management of vCO instances
- A tool for hierarchical orchestration
- A tool for certain types of scale-out of vCO activities
