and includes all the organization virtual datacenters (vDCs), the media and template ﬁles, vApps, virtual

machines and networks.

All organization hierarchies have four folders: Allocation Pool, Networks, Pay As You Go and Reservation Pool.

Organization vDCs are assigned to folders based on the allocation model conﬁgured. The Networks folder

consists of all the networks deﬁned in the organization.

By default, the polling interval between vCloud Director and vCenter Chargeback Manager is ﬁve minutes. This is

a user-conﬁgurable setting that cannot go below thirty seconds. There is no option to refresh or resynchronize

with vCloud Director.
