Orchestrator Database Requirements
Orchestrator requires a database. It is recommended that the Orchestrator database is separate from the
standard vCenter Server database. For small-scale deployments, you can use the SQL Server Express database
that is bundled with vCenter Server.
NOTE To ensure efficient CPU and memory usage, you should consider hosting the Orchestrator database
and the Orchestrator server on different machines. 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 Product Interoperability Matrixes at
http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php.
Level of Internationalization 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.
