To avoid any big leftover gaps or unused resources, the VDC Calculator can help build well-balanced offerings that
closely match a customer needs, with the correct ratios between size elements of the package (CPU, memory, and
storage resource limitations).

The Planned VM Configuration step displays the respective virtual machine configuration attributes for each size.
The VDC Calculator uses these attributes, plus the following values, to create a weighted average:
The VDC Calculator uses these attributes, plus the following values, to create a weighted average:
—
MHz allocated per vCPU—Enter how much real CPU (in MHz) should be assumed per vCPU allocated to a VM.
This drives the total MHz boundaries of the resource pool.
