Managing Organization vDCs
After you create an organization vDC, you can modify its properties, disable or delete it, and manage its
allocation model, storage, and network settings.
Create an Organization vDC
Create an organization vDC to allocate resources to an organization. An organization vDC is partitioned from
a provider vDC. A single organization can have multiple organization vDCs.
