<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">We&#8217;re running into some performance problems stemming from having too many Hosts/VMs/Disks running from the same Datacenter/Cluster.&nbsp; Because of that I&#8217;m looking into
 splitting the DC into multiple separate ones with different Hosts/Storage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">But I&#8217;m a little confused what the benefit of separating hosts into clusters achieves.&nbsp; Can someone please explain what the common use cases are?&nbsp; Since all the clusters
 in a DC seem to need to see the same storage, I don&#8217;t think it would help my situation anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
