Note:
Multiple virtual data centers can be ordered by an organization for server owners to provision servers in.
A virtual data center has an associated size that determines limits for the number of virtual servers, physical servers,
vCPUs, CPU MHz, storage, and memory. Limits are enforced by comparing the sum of the number of provisioned virtual
and physical servers and the vCPUs, memory, and storage for a server size against the limits defined for the virtual data
center size.

A VMware resource pool is created for each virtual data center. This allows further control of resource utilization by
defining CPU and memory limits, as well as CPU and memory reservations in the VMware resource pool.
