Managing Data Director Resources 2
System administrators manage CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources for different organizations.
Organization administrators manage resources for database groups and for databases.

Resource Management Overview
System administrators allocate resources to organizations. These virtual resources come directly from the
physical resources of the cluster on which Data Director runs. Organization administrators assign organization
resources to database groups and databases.
A vSphere cluster consists of several ESXi hosts that provide the physical CPU and memory resources for the
databases managed by Data Director. As part of installation, you create the cluster and enable vSphere High
Availability (HA) and vSphere Distributed Resource Management (DRS) for the cluster. Data Director can take
advantage of the vSphere HA and vSphere DRS functionality because Data Director runs on top of the cluster.
See the vSphere Availability and the vSphere Resource Management documentation for details.
A Data Director resource bundle includes CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. The CPU and
memory resources come from a resource pool in the vSphere cluster. The storage and networking resources
are assigned to Data Director during installation or at a later time. Data Director includes a set of VLANs to
carry different types of network traffic.
When system administrators create an organization, they can assign virtual resources to the organization as
resource bundles. When organization administrators create a database group, they assign virtual resources to
the database group. These virtual resources are backed by the physical resources of one or more clusters.
vSphere clusters provide failover protection and support efficient use of physical resources.
