Business Units

Overview​

A Business Unit is an organisational entity that consumes virtual resources using Vayu Cloud. For example, let's imagine that the company ABC Inc. has subscribed to Vayu Cloud. The different business units in the portal for company ABC could be classified based on its various departments (e.g., Finance, Marketing, HR, Engineering and so on) or locations (North Zone, South Zone or Central Zone etc).Vayu Cloud enables you to define the resource limit that can be consumed by a particular Business Unit.
