vRealize Business for Cloud Initial Setup

TM
Solutions Architect and project manager at MIB leipzig

VMware vRealize is a cloud solution that you can implement with a list of rudimentary paths in one day. So it's effortless. It's specially programmed there, but you can only also include Hyper-V from Windows. There are a lot of parts where you will have to configure things. We implemented the blueprints for the automation part of the solution very quickly. That was like prototyping the deployment. So, we installed the solution and made the first blueprint. The blueprint is the name of the machine template. You can quickly build your first machine templates to deploy the system. That was the prototyping part. And in the second part, we improved the behavior of this blueprint with more orchestrator functionality. So, it was an agile prototyping-based deployment.

It takes two or three staff members to deploy. There was a convergence of different teams who deployed the solution. Another person can deploy the server if necessary, and I deployed on-premise if the customer required that. And after the deployment, the IT staff should manage and maintain the solution. They should transition from vendor deployment of systems. They were working on that when I left the project — to integrate the whole IT infrastructure in the cloud solution.

The initial setup was very straightforward. We found it to be quite easy.

I did the deployment with VMware resources and it took me about two hours to get everything up and running.

You only need one person for deployment and maintenance. In my company, that happens to be me.

The initial setup is easy and the deployment is very straightforward.

It takes perhaps five to ten minutes to deploy. It has everything in place.

The tool's deployment is easy. The deployment speed depends on the network's speed and the target environment. The tool's maintenance can be handled by a single person.

The initial setup was complex because they are a very important platform, but it wasn't so complex with respect to the community solutions. We used a consultant for the installation and deployment.

Installation and integration are simple. However, the configuration and setting up the schema is something that has to be discussed in-depth with the customer. In more complex cases, it takes a good understanding and longer to design a correct schema.

The deployment, once it is designed, only takes a couple of hours.
