Orchestrator Database Requirements
Orchestrator requires you to have a database that is separate from the standard vCenter database. For small
deployments and proof-of-concept purposes, you can use the SQL Server Express database that is bundled
with vCenter Server.
NOTE Because of CPU and memory use, you should consider hosting the Orchestrator database and the
Orchestrator server on different machines from the same datacenter. Verify that at least 1GB of free disk space
is available on each machine.
For a list of the databases supported by Orchestrator, see the VMware vSphere Compatibility Matrixes guide.
Level of Internationalization (i18n) Support
Orchestrator is compliant with i18n level 1. Although Orchestrator is not localized, it can run on a non-English
operating system and handle non-English text.
Non-ASCII Character Support in Orchestrator
Table 2-1 displays the level of internationalization compliance and limitations in Orchestrator GUI data entries.
