vRealize Orchestrator is a modern VMware platform that simplifies the automation of complex IT tasks and coordinates and automates virtual environment workflows. vRealize Orchestrator provides even more services and tools for centralized management, thereby increasing IT agility.

What are the advantages of vRealize Orchestrator?

  • Acceleration of IT operations and integration of solutions
  • Significant reduction in IT costs and total cost of ownership for VMware solutions
  • The ability to authorize management and operational tasks for VMware and for third-party applications and tools

What is workflow development and management?

Workflow development and management occurs through the following elements:

  • Designer lets you create simple or complex workflows on Windows, Linux and MacOS with just a few clicks
  • The workflow engine allows you to create workflows using custom building blocks using plugins from vRealize Orchestrator
  • The built-in workflow library orchestrator can be used for the following purposes:
    • Assign an IP address using the IP address management tool
    • Updating or creating a work order ticket
    • Updates to CMDB
    • Changing the settings of the load balancer
    • Activating system backup
  • The scripting engine builds on the creation of new building blocks for vRealize Orchestrator and thereby expands the scope for workflows and policies.
  • Version control is necessary for managing changes when distributing processes to different stages and locations of a project. This is due to the ability to rollback at certain intervals.
  • The content database checkpoint allows you to save each workflow step in the content database. If necessary, you can restart the server without losing state and context, which is most useful for long-running processes.

vRealize Orchestrator provides centralized management of all processes and enables administrators to use a version controlled script. This way the administrator will have proper control over changes in the environment.
