Your SDDC order passes through various stages of the ordering process flow and the status of the SDDC changes accordingly. After you place the SDDC order, VMware verifies the order and begins the provisioning tasks such as assigning the hardware and updating various hardware and software configurations. The rack is assembled based on the specifications you provide at the time of ordering SDDC. After the rack is ready, it is dispatched to your location. The deployment engineer connects the rack to the network at the designated site.
