15 | 15 | ## Requirements |
16 | 16 |
|
17 | | -- Being an administrative contact of your [Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/enterprise/products/hosted-private-cloud/) to receive login credentials |
18 | | -- A user account (created in the [OVHcloud Control Panel](/links/manager)) |
| 17 | +- You must be an administrator contact of the [Hosted Private Cloud](/links/hosted-private-cloud/vmware) infrastructure, in order to receive login credentials. |

|
42 | | -In case of multiple **datacenters** inside a single **Hosted Private Cloud**, you can select them in the scrolling menu. **Last refresh** is the last **web page** refresh, not the **vScope** one. vScope refreshes every **2 to 5 minutes**. |
| 42 | +You are now connected to **vScope**. This page centralises the key information about your resources. |
43 | 43 |
|
44 | | -{.thumbnail} |
| 44 | +For example, for each host, you can immediately view: |
45 | 45 |
|
46 | | -The **Filer** menu gives an insight on datastore usage in terms of VMs and storage space. |
| 46 | +- The number of cores and VMs |
| 47 | +- CPU and RAM usage |
| 48 | +- Network traffic |
