VMware vCloud Director 5.1 Evaluation Guide
Defining the Provider Virtual Datacenter
In this section, you will start the process of configuring vCloud Director and defining the resources that will be
consumed by the organizations.
Creating a Provider VDC
After a vCenter Server has been attached to vCloud Director, the resources that it provides can be added to
a provider VDC. A provider VDC provides the capability for multiple vCenter Servers to be connected to
vCloud Director and creates a layer of abstraction for all of these resources.
One way to think about this is that provider VDCs represent the pools of resources that later will get divided up
among the various organizations within your vCloud Director environment. You can consider the resources that
make up a provider VDC as, in essence, an oering available to your consumers.
On the home screen for vCloud Director, click the Quick Start link for creating a provider VDC.
