Initial Deployment and
Configuration
Recommendations 2
Deploy and configure all VMware vRealize Automation components in accordance with VMware
recommendations.
Keep your vRealize Automation, vRealize Business Standard Edition, and vRealize Orchestrator in the
same time zone with their clocks synchronized. Otherwise, data synchronization might be delayed.
Install vRealize Automation, vRealize Business Standard Edition, and vRealize Orchestrator on the same
management cluster. Provision machines to a cluster that is separate from the management cluster so
that user workload and server workload can be isolated.
Deploy Proxy Agents in the same data center as the Endpoint with which they communicate. VMware
does not recommended placing DEM Workers in Remote Data Centers unless there is an express
workflow skill based use case that requires it. All components except the Proxy Agents and DEM Workers
must be deployed in the same Data Center or Data Centers within a Metro Area Network. Latency must
be less than 5 milliseconds, and bandwidth must not be less than 1 GB/s between the Data Centers in the
Metro Area Network.
