machines in the organization.
3 Select an Allocation Model on page 33
The allocation model determines how and when the provider virtual datacenter compute and memory
resources that you allocate are committed to the organization virtual datacenter.
4 Configure the Allocation Model on page 34
Configure the allocation model to specify the amount of provider virtual datacenter resources to
allocate to the organization virtual datacenter.
5 Allocate Storage on page 35
An organization virtual datacenter requires storage space for vApps and vApp templates. You can
allocate storage from the space available on provider virtual datacenter datastores.
