A Logical Data Center is a logical construct that can be any external data center entity. For example, in the context of a Terremark Cloud provider, a Logical Data Center is a combination of Environment and Compute Pool. A Logical Data Center is similar to and at the same hierarchical level as a network container. Both a Logical Data Center and a network container belong to a "logical hosting environment." (A logical hosting environment acts as a separate, abstract entity that contains the data for the Logical Data Center or network container.)
You can onboard or offboard Logical Data Centers in the Network Container tab (part of the logical hosting environment) of the Resource Management workspace.
