Benefits of Deploying NetMRI as a Virtual Appliance
- Viktoryia Varapayeva (Deactivated)
You can download and run NetMRI as a virtual appliance within a VMware virtual machine. To simplify the installation, the virtual appliance comes bundled with all required system components. You do not need to install and maintain an operating system or database.
NetMRI as a virtual appliance dynamically scales with the VM (virtual machine) resources provisioned to meet the needs of different customer requirements, allowing greater flexibility than the traditional appliance. In short, the NetMRI virtual appliance provides all the benefits of a virtual machine, combined with all of the convenience of a physical appliance.
The NetMRI virtual appliance provides the following benefits:
- Reduce data center footprints and provide scalability to NetMRI.
- House multiple NetMRI Collectors on one VM server.
- Deploy an Operations Center to collect data from multiple remote NetMRI Collectors.
Note
The hardware on which NetMRI runs should be supported by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to avoid data corruption problems should there be a power outage.
