How To Request Additional Capacity
When you reach your capacity and resource limits, file a support request. Log into My VMware to file
support requests for Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand.
See Account Support in vCloud Air – Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand Getting Started for information.
See also the My VMware Help ( ) for information.
Maximum Capacity
In the Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand environment, each virtual machine has the following capacity
limits:
n
16 vCPUs at 2.6GHz per processor (equivalent to a 42Ghz processor)
n
240GB vRAM
NOTE A virtual data center has a capacity limit of 100GB vRAM; therefore, if you require a virtual
machine with 240GB vRAM, contact VMware to request additional capacity for your
Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand environment.
n
2TB standard storage or 2TB accelerated storage per disk. You can add up to 16 disks.
The maximum size of a virtual data center can be 500GHz vCPU, 2800GB RAM, and 10TB storage. Contact
VMware if you need a larger size virtual data center. However, this may require additional processing time.
Geographical Locations
Today, hybrid cloud computing has grown to encompass stretching resources from a private cloud to multi-
public clouds to run workloads in different public clouds to take advantage of geography, time zone, or for
legal reasons.
The availability of different geographical locations enables running your workloads closer to your business-
specific customers or allowing you to comply with various regulations and other legal requirements.
Multiple locations can also enable redundancy of your data or workloads.
When you become a customer of Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand, you have the ability to deploy virtual
machines to different geographical locations. (See Data Center Locations for the locations where VMware
supports Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand.)
When you log into Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand the first time, you are prompted to specify the location
where you want to deploy your first virtual machine. As you grow your public cloud environment, you can
select the location where you want to add each new virtual machine or create new virtual data centers.
Selecting a location from the drop-down menu refreshes the Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand page and
returns you to the Virtual Machines tab, where you can view your virtual machines deployed for that
location.
