vCenter Operations Manager messaging—The message bus (ActiveMQ) passes metric information
between vCenter Operations Manager components.
vCenter Operations Manager uses two data storage solutions. A relational database (Oracle or Microsoft SQL
Server) stores configuration and state data. A proprietary high-performance file system-based repository
(FSDB) stores the collected raw metrics.
The installation script installs all vCenter Operations Manager components—server (including messaging),
collector, and analytics—in the same folder structure. It also installs several vCenter Operations Manager
system tools.
