Deploying the vSphere Bitfusion Appliance

The vSphere Bitfusion OVA file contains the compressed open virtualization format files that compose the vSphere Bitfusion server. After setting up your vSphere environment, download the vSphere Bitfusion OVA file and deploy it as a vSphere appliance.

You can deploy virtual machines, virtual appliances, and vApps in Open Virtual Format (OVF) and Open Virtual Appliance (OVA). Deploying an OVF or OVA template allows you to add pre-configured virtual machines or vApps to your vCenter Server or ESXi inventory. Deploying an OVF or OVA template is similar to deploying a virtual machine from a template. However, you can deploy an OVF or OVA template from any local file system accessible from the vSphere Client, or from a remote web server.

vSphere Bitfusion is distributed as a OVA file. To learn more about OVA or OVF files, see the vSphere Virtual Machine Administration documentation.
