Available now.........
The VMware vCloud plugin for NSS(NetBackup Self Service) match's NSS to vCloud functionality i.e. a tenant is be able to perform the following actions on vCloud objects:
Protect, Unprotect, Backup Now, Restore VM, Restore File (not all actions are available on all objects e.g. file restore is not applicable to a vDC)
It also introduces support for agentless file restore and a dashboard with the familiar traffic lights and usage information.
NSS needs to be installed and configured but the tenant is able to do everything from vCloud without having to access the NSS Portal
The plugin follows vCloud's guidelines on scope and UX and it provides a seamless experience to the tenant user.
The minimum VMware vCloud version supported is 9.7
Additional Overview Video and Powerpoint is available below in the attachments section.
This plugin is available in the Veritas Downloads area where NSS can be downloaded also.

This represents the total size of backups (using “front end” size of assets at time of backup).
Enhancement - Running & Failed Activities
Backup / restore activities triggered from within the plugin can now be viewed via a gear icon next to the object (virtual datacentre, vAPP, or VM).
The gear icon depicts the following statuses:
Bug Fix - UI Consistency
The filtering UI on the vAPP and VM page has been brought into line with the standard UI for VMware vCloud Director version 10.0.
