vCloud view
The vCloud view provides an overview of vCloud, Provider vDCs, and Organization vDCs in terms of CPU, memory, and datastore utilization for each entity. It is based on cloud database structures and enables you to:

- Identify resource bottlenecks
- Discover underutilized resources
- Track resources that are experiencing, or will soon experience capacity shortfalls
You can access the views only after the administrator has completed the following tasks:
If you are new to views in the TrueSight console, first see Accessing and using capacity views in the TrueSight console.
To access the vCloud view, in the TrueSight console navigation pane, select > Capacity > Views > Cloud > vCloud.
