Initial Deployment and Configuration
Recommendations 1
Deploy and congure all VMware vRealize Automation components in accordance with VMware
recommendations.
Keep your vRealize Automation, vRealize Business for Cloud, and vRealize Orchestrator in the same time
zone with their clocks synchronized.
Install vRealize Automation, vRealize Business for Cloud, 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 workow 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.
