Installing vRealize Operations for VMware Cloud on Dell EMC

You can use your on-premises vRealize Operations to manage and monitor your cloud infrastructure on VMware Cloud by simply adding your VMware Cloud based vCenter Server into vRealize Operations. You can extend the current set of monitoring, troubleshooting, optimization, and remediation processes of vRealize Operations on to VMware Cloud. It provides you with a hybrid view of your environment.
