vRealize Business Requirements andConfiguration 1

vRealize Business must meet specific hardware, software, and operating system requirements. You canoptimize the value of the initial hardware and software investments and provide the option to scale up inthe future.

This chapter includes the following topics:

n “Software and Hardware requirements,” on page 7

n “Running vRealize Business in a Virtual Environment,” on page 9

Software and Hardware requirementsYour computer must meet minimum software and hardware requirements to install vRealize Business.

vRealize Business is 100% compliant with the J2EE standard. This allows the product to support a widerange of deployment options.

vRealize Business can be installed on a Windows server and on a Linux-UNIX server such as Oracle Solaris,Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS. In turn, this ability of vRealize Business to be deployed on a wide rangeof platforms ensures it fits rigorous enterprise requirements.

To ensure optimum performance, you must deploy the database server on one computer and the applicationserver on an another computer for vRealize Business installation. The hardware and software requirementsvaries based on the purpose of the computer for installing the database server, for deploying the applicationserver or for end user access.

The vRealize Business deployment includes a database server and an application server. Both componentsof vRealize Business can run on a single computer but this approach is costlier, because a single computerrequires more number of CPUs to run both the database and the application server. You pay for thedatabase license per CPU. If you have a site license for the database management software, you can use asingle computer to run both database and application servers. In a production environment the systemneeds a server for the database and a separate server for the application server.

System requirements for production environments are higher from those for development environments.

Table 1‑1. Recommended Database Server Requirements

Hardware orSoftwareComponent Environment

CPU Use 4 CPUs. Intel Xeon 2GHz 4 core CPU or similar AMD Opteron processor.

RAM Use 16GB RAM

Table 1‑2. Recommended Application Server Requirements


CPU Use 4 CPUs. Intel Xeon 2GHz 2 core CPU or similar AMD Opteron processor.

RAM 4GB

Storage Two RAID 1 36GB Ultra320 SCSI or SAS hard disks

Operatingsystem

All operating system that is supported by Tomcat version 7.0.57, including:n Windows Server 2003 R2, 2008 R2, 2012n UNIX Oracle Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIXn Linux RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux, CentOS

Applicationserver

Apache Tomcat (7.0.57 embedded)n For the Apache Tomcat application servers, the installer contains the 7u76 JDK , which is suitable in

a 32-bit Windows environment.n For the UNIX, Linux, or 64-bit Windows operating systems, install the appropriate JDK 7u76 before

running the vRealize Business installer.NOTE Verify that you are using the latest JDK 1.7 version. Any JDK that is not provided by VMwaremust be updated by using the most updated TZUpdater tool from the Oracle website. ThevRealize Business installer can use up to latest JRE 7.0 version.

Oracle Client One of the following Oracle database clients:n 11.2.0.3n 11.2.0.4n 12.1.0.1n 12.1.0.2

Some examples of models for production database servers are IBM System x3850, Dell PowerEdge 2950.

NOTE Application servers and database servers can run on a VMware virtual environment as well as on thephysical configurations. When you create a virtual environment, use the virtual equivalent of the guidelinesin these sections. vRealize Business application server needs to be in the same LAN as the database server inorder to get the best performance.

Table 1‑3. Recommended End User Requirements


CPU 2GHz Dual Core

RAM 2GB

Web browser n For vRealize Business, use Internet Explorer 8.0.x, 9.0.x, 10 and 11 and Firefox 31.x or Chrome 38.x.n For the Designer, use Internet Explorer 8.0.x, 9.0.x, 10 and 11.n For viewing dashboards and reports on the iPad, use Safari 5.1.x or 6.0.x.n For vRealize Business SaaS Management, use Internet Explorer 9, 10, 11 and Firefox 31.x or Chrome

38.x.

Running vRealize Business in a Virtual EnvironmentApplication servers and database servers can run in a VMware virtual environment also.

Application servers and database servers can run in a VMware virtual environment as well as on thephysical configurations described in “Software and Hardware requirements,” on page 7. When you create avirtual environment, ensure that it conforms to the requirements provided for the production environment.
