We're running into some performance problems stemming from having too many =
Hosts/VMs/Disks running from the same Datacenter/Cluster.  Because of that =
I'm looking into splitting the DC into multiple separate ones with differen=
t Hosts/Storage.
But I'm a little confused what the benefit of separating hosts into cluster=
s achieves.  Can someone please explain what the common use cases are?  Sin=
ce all the clusters in a DC seem to need to see the same storage, I don't t=
hink it would help my situation anyway.

Thanks,
Ryan
