Memory % Guarantee
Resource pools created to support Pay-As-You-Go organization vDCs will always have no reservations or
limits. Pay-As-You-Go settings only affect overcommitment. A 100% guarantee means no overcommitment is
possible. The lower the percentage, the more overcommitment is possible.

Allocate Storage
An organization vDC requires storage space for vApps and vApp templates. You can allocate storage from
the space available on provider vDC datastores.
Procedure
1 Enter the amount of storage to allocate.
2 (Optional) Select the Enable thin provisioning check box to enable thin provisioning for virtual machines
in the organization vDC.
Thin provisioning can help avoid over-allocating storage and save storage space. For a virtual machine
with a thin virtual disk, ESX/ESXi provisions the entire space required for the disk's current and future
activities, but commits only as much storage space as the disk needs for its initial operations.

Select Network Pool
A network pool is a group of undifferentiated networks that is used to create vApp networks and NAT-routed
or internal organization networks.
Procedure
1 Select a network pool or select None.
If you select None, you can add a network pool later.
2 Enter the maximum number of networks that the organization can provision from the network pool.
