Installing and Upgrading Orchestrator 4
Orchestrator consists of a server component and a client component. You can install the Orchestrator
components on the machine on which vCenter Server is installed or on a separate machine. To improve
performance, install the Orchestrator server component on a separate machine.
IMPORTANT You can install the Orchestrator configuration server on 64-bit Windows machines only. The
Orchestrator client can run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows machines.
To install Orchestrator, you must be either a local Administrator or a domain user that is a member of the
Administrators group.
