Create a virtual data center

A virtual data center is a collection of virtual cloud computing resources (CPUs, RAM, disk space, networks). Virtual data centers are created within an organization.

In a virtual data center, you can create virtual machines, vApps, and networks.

When creating a virtual data center, an Edge router is created automatically.

By default, you can create up to five virtual data centers. Virtual data centers have their own limits. You can increase the number and limits of virtual data centers.

Limits

Limits do not affect the cost of resources, but only cap the maximum consumption level. To increase limits or the number of virtual data centers, submit a ticket.

Standard limits:

Create virtual data center

  1. In the Control panel, in the top menu, click Products and select VMware-based Cloud.

  2. Go to Virtual Data Centers.

  3. Click Create virtual data center.

  4. Select a cluster type:

    • Gold-1 — a cluster with high-performance storage, suitable for high-load applications and databases;
    • Gold-1 (multi-zone) — a cluster with fast storage, suitable for hosting high-load applications and databases with high fault tolerance requirements;
    • Silver-1 — a cluster with general-purpose storage and optimized cost, suitable for most tasks;
    • Platinum-1 (only in the Moscow region) — a cluster on processors with a base frequency of 3.10 GHz and high-performance storage, suitable for applications requiring high CPU frequency and disk subsystem speed;
    • AMD HiFreq-1 (only in the Moscow region) — an ultra-high-performance cluster with a base frequency of 4.1 GHz, suitable for resource-intensive applications that require extreme CPU frequency and high disk subsystem speeds.

  5. Click Create virtual data center.

    The cluster will be created in the region of your organization. You can view the cluster availability zones in the Product availability by location manual.

View the virtual data center external IP address

  1. From the Control panel, open the Cloud Director panel: in the top menu, click Products → VMware-based Cloud → Cloud Director.
  2. Open the virtual data center page.
  3. Go to Networking → Networks.
  4. Open the page for the required Edge gateway.
  5. Go to Configuration → Gateway Interfaces.
  6. In the Primary IP column, check the public IP address.
