VMware vCenter AppSpeed Installation
Open Port Requirements
AppSpeed requires that the following ports be open on your firewall:.
Installing and Configuring AppSpeed Server
You can install AppSpeed Server on any ESX host that is managed by vCenter Server for the environment you
want to monitor. AppSpeed is provided as an OVF file.
Import the OVF File to the vSphere Client
The first step in the installation process is to import the OVF file in the installation package to the
vSphere Client. You must have administrator privileges to import the OVF file.
Procedure

location that you can access from the vSphere Client.
2 In the vSphere Client, select File > Deploy OVF Template.
3 Select Deploy from File and click Browse to locate the OVF file.
4Click Next and click Next again.
5 Read and accept the End User License Agreement, and click Next.

The name must be unique in the vSphere Client.
