Region
Region refers to a collection of physical data centers that are located in distinctly separate geographic areas.
You select a region or regions when you purchase cloud services.
Having services available in multiple regions enables you to manage region specific resources. You can run
workloads closer to your business specific customers or comply with various regulations and other legal
requirements.
You can also choose to leverage multiple regions to enable redundancy of your data or workloads.
Redundant configuration can play a role in your business continuity and disaster recovery strategy, which
can include failing over to a second data center, protecting data by deploying to a second data center, or
recovering operations in a second data center in the event of a disaster.
Adding Capacity
The My VMware account management portal provides customer access to management of all VMware
subscriptions and support under a single account. In this portal, users with subscription administrator
privileges in your organization can manage entitlements and purchase additional service components.
