Terms in this definition
- LSDOU
The sequence in which Group Policy is processed: the local policy first, followed by site, domain and organisational unit policies. The nearest, last-processed setting takes effect unless Enforced or Block Inheritance alters that.
- online depot
dl.broadcom.com is the depot that supplies VCF binaries. Appliances connect straight to it or via a proxy, and prove entitlement with a download token issued in the Broadcom Support Portal.
- VMware Cloud Foundation
Broadcom's platform for private cloud. It unifies management of NSX, vSAN, vSphere, VCF Automation and VCF Operations as one fleet; VVF, by contrast, lacks automation and cloud management.
