vRealize Automation Multi-Data
Center Data Deployments 12
vRealize Automation supports managing resources in remote data centers.
To manage vSphere, HyperV, or Xen resources in remote data centers, deploy the proxy agent on a
virtual machine in the remote data center.
Note The diagram below shows a vSphere deployment. Other endpoints require no additional
configuration.
Because vRealize Orchestrator workflows will potentially communicate over a WAN, observe best
practices as stated in the vRealize Orchestrator Coding Design Guide.

* If DEM-workers are installed on the Manager Service machine or another server, these ports must be
open between that machine and the target endpoint.
** The port required to a communicate with an external endpoint varies depending on the endpoint. By
default for vSphere, this is port 443.
