Resource Limit

Description

Component Name

The name of the service component that requires resources.

Resource Type

A specific type of resource required by the service component. Examples of resource types include bandwidth and disk space.

Limit

The amount of the server resources available to the resource type.

If you specify an amount, such as an amount of disk space, only that amount can be provisioned.

If you select Unlimited, you can potentially allocate more than the actual resources available on the server, as long as those resources are not all needed at once. This allows you to over-sell a server's resources. However, since no server's resources are actually unlimited, use this setting with discretion.

Sold

The amount of the resource that has been sold by resellers but is not currently in use.

Usage

The percentage of the resource type in use. The usage percentage differs from the Sold percentage if resellers, sites, and users have not used all the resources sold to them.
