You can install vCenter Orchestrator 4.1 only on a 64-bit operating system platform. If you run the installer in
a 32-bit environment, the installation quits with a message stating that there was an error loading the Java VM.
In production environments, and to enhance the scalability of your vCenter Orchestrator setup, install
Orchestrator on a dedicated Microsoft Windows server.
