Creating and managing organizations in vCloud

Organizations are a foundational concept of the vCloud environment. Organizations are used to separate tenants within a vCloud environment and can be interpreted in many ways depending on the use case for a vCloud deployment. For an internal vCloud provider, the organizations might represent departments that need to keep assets separated, such as in a university, governmental setting, or even a subsidiary of a company. For external vCloud providers, organizations might represent wholly separate businesses that have contracts with the provider.
