==Creating a Container Dimension==
A container in LiveDC is considered a room, a cabinet, or a blade-server. A container is the boundary that contains the hardware. In this case, the container is the room (the white box). A cabinet is contained by a room; a piece of hardware is contained by a cabinet; a blade of a server is contained by a blade chassis. Creating a container in LiveDC is the initial step into being able to visualize your data center and what assets reside in it through the LiveDC platform.
