Summary

In this chapter, we introduced vRealize Operations Manager and explained how it fits with the rest of the vRealize family. We looked at the operational disciplines of performance, capacity, configuration, and compliance, how vRealize Operations addresses them, and the benefits to the administrator.

We then looked at the architecture scalability and resilience, and finally covered the somewhat complex topics of editions and licensing.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to install and administer vRealize Operations Manager.
