Organizations and machine groups are logical "containers" in the VSA used to organize all "assets" managed by the VSA. An asset is any machine or asset you choose to manage. Within the VSA you can assign any asset to any combination of organization and machine group.
Standard VSA hierarchies—networks, organizations, machine groups and managed assets—are mapped to the Network Monitor module as follows:

The Network Hierarchy
Each network can contain multiple organizations. For example, two teams from two different companies, could share the same network for an extended project. In this case the VSA would show a single network that includes assets from two different organizations and machine groups.
Note: Machine groups and organizations can be used to filter list views in Network Monitor.
