Let's look at a quick summary of the things that we have covered so far. First off, we had a look at the vRealize Suite of products, and learned how we can leverage it to automate and monitor complex and heterogeneous environments. Next, we dived into vRealize Operations Manager, and set up a fully clustered, high enabled deployment containing a Master, a Replica and a Remote Collector Node. We then learned how to integrate different environments, such as VMware vSphere and vCloud Air with vRealize Operations Manager to leverage and create various dashboards, views, and alerts.

In the next and final chapter, we will be looking at disaster recovery—its uses, best practices, and how you can leverage VMware vCloud Air Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering in your own environment.
