Configure Organization Lease, Quota, and Limit Settings
Leases, quotas, and limits constrain the ability of organization users to consume storage and processing
resources. Use these settings to prevent users from depleting or monopolizing an organization's resources.
For more information about leases, see “Understanding Leases,” on page 27.
Procedure
1 Select the lease options for vApps and vApp templates.
Leases provide a level of control over an organization's storage and compute resources by specifying the
maximum amount of time that vApps can be running and that vApps and vApp templates can be stored.
You can also specify what happens to vApps and vApp templates when their storage lease expires.
2 Select the quotas for running and stored virtual machines.
Quotas determine how many virtual machines each user in the organization can store and power on in
the organization's virtual datacenters. The quotas you specify act as the default for all new users added
to the organization.
3 Select the limits for resource intensive operations.
Certain Cloud Director operations, for example copy and move, are more resource intensive than others.
Limits prevent resource intensive operations from affecting all the users in an organization and also
provide a defense against denial-of-service attacks.
4 Select the number of simultaneous VMware Remote Console connections for each virtual machine.
You may want to limit the number of simultaneous connections for performance or security reasons.
NOTE This setting does not affect Virtual Network Computing (VNC) or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
connections.
