Virtual data center (private cloud)
A virtual data center (vDC) is a collection or pool of resources that groups the resources around specific requirements or business needs. In private cloud environments, Turbonomic discovers the infrastructure that provides resources to the cloud, and the workloads that run on the cloud. To manage these resources, private clouds organize the infrastructure into Provider and Consumer virtual data centers.
Note:
Different targets use different names to refer to virtual data centers. In the Turbonomic supply chain, these entities are all represented by Consumer and Provider VDCs, as follows:
| Turbonomic | vCenter Server | VMM |
|---|---|---|

Consumer VDC |
Resource Pool (Child) |
