Adapter Architecture
Adapters work with certain vCenter Operations Manager components to collect, process, and store collected
data.

Collector
Acts as a gateway between vCenter Operations Manager and its adapters.
Adapters pass collected data to the Collector for final processing.
In the standalone version of vCenter Operations Manager, the Collector is
installed in the primary server by default. In a vApp installation, the Collector
runs on the Analytics virtual machine. You can also install collectors on one or
more remote servers.
Message Broker
Passes metric information between vCenter Operations Manager components.
Analytics process
Receives data gathered from monitored resources, analyzes the data, and
creates statistical models to detect abnormal behavior.
vCenter Operations Manager stores metrics in the FSDB. The standalone
version can store change events in a Microsoft SQL or Oracle database. The
vApp version stores change events in a PostgreSQL database.
