vRealize Business for Cloud.
I’m not an accounting specialist, but vRealize Business is becoming a fundamental part on a global Cloud Management Platform. I’m not discovering anything new about this product, I just intend to shorten the distance between vRB and consultant staff in terms of depicting a general overview on our minds.
When talking about vRealize Business for Cloud we know we are talking about costs, expenses, charges, pricing… the kind of concepts an IT Specialist normally cannot hear about. So what you’ll surely want to know is what I’m writing right here.
Before dealing for the first time with this product, there are a some basic things we need to know:
- vRealize Business for Cloud is part of the VMware vCloud Suite.
- vRealize Business for Cloud can interact with vRealize Operations Management for a complete operational analysis and with vRealize Automation.
- vRealize Business Standard is licensed per PLU (Portable License Unit)
- vRealizr Business Advanced is licensed per OSI and per CPU and is also available as a Standalone product.
And the most important from a technical perspective:
- vRealize Business for Cloud Appliance can be deployed both in vCenter and vCloud Director. At the end, a final Virtual Appliance is created on vCenter Server.
- vRealize Business for Cloud can not only be registered on an existing vRealize Automation server, building a perfect tandem with its full integration – Which is the most powerful and outstanding option by the way – but also a Standalone deployment for vRB is now possible with a little help of its friend … a VMware Identity Manager.
A Standalone installation is a perfect chance to know a little more about this tool and start getting familiar with it. I’ll create a post about it shortly….
