vRealize Cloud Connect helps to onboard vRealize Suite on-premises software to Cloud services by automating the onboarding process. vRealize Cloud Connect currently helps to migrate vRealize Network Insight and vRealize Log Insight on-premise products to vRealize Network Insight Cloud and vRealize Log Insight Cloud services.

vRealize Network Insight on-premises software to vRealize Network Insight Cloud

With vRealize Cloud Connect, an instance of vRealize Network Insight Cloud in trial mode is automatically provisioned if no instance exists. This newly provisioned instance or any existing vRealize Network Insight Cloud instance is connected to your on-premises infrastructure, and the required collectors are provisioned for data collection. The vRealize Network Insight on-premises content is then copied to vRealize Network Insight Cloud instance to provide the same administrative experience when using the on-premises instance.

vRealize Cloud Connect supports the following vRealize Network Insight content types.
  • SNMP
  • SMTP
  • Web Proxy
  • Data Sources
  • Events
  • LDAP
  • vIDM
