Virtual Partitions | Teradata Vantage - Virtual Partitions - Analytics Database - Teradata Workload Management

In the priority hierarchy, the first level that an administrator can interact with is the virtual partition. A virtual partition represents a collection of workloads. The default is one virtual partition, but you can define up to 10. One virtual partition is adequate to cover the needs of most systems, and is a good starting point. Multiple virtual partitions are intended for platforms that support distinct business units or geographic entities that need to be kept separated.
