    • Establishes ownership of capacity when a single physical location is shared across multiple organizations without having to create multiple logical locations to establish the capacity ownership.
    • Provides capacity separation, allowing all organizations that are part of the capacity organization to have visibility to the capacities of all of the other organizations that are part of the same capacity organization.
