For vCloud Director, a deployment environment maps to an organization
virtual datacenter (vDC) for a defined cloud provider and uses resources
from that vDC. An organization vDC provides resources to an organization
and is partitioned from a provider vDC. Organization vDCs provide an
environment where virtual systems can be stored, deployed, and operated.
They also provide storage for virtual media, such as floppy disks and CD
ROMs. A single organization can have multiple organization vDCs.
