Many of vRealize Operations’ advanced capabilities are due to its continuous collection and analysis of a large amount of data from vSphere, adjacent infrastructure and applications environment. Customers often underestimate the storage requirements of the system to support the amounts of data collected. We will review how to accurately estimate the sizing requirements of your environment and help you avoid many obstacles and leverage best practices.

Installation and Configuration

Then the session will move into the installation wizard and configuration. We’ll walk through the installation of the Virtual Appliance explaining the ramifications of the many questions asked. Then we will dig into the policy questions that are asked when connecting to vCenter for the first time. This policy questions can be modified later but it’s a good practice to get close when running through the initial connection.
