Veeam Data Collector for vSphere

The Collector server is a Windows-based physical or virtual machine on which the Collector component is installed. The Collector agentlessly gathers data from VMware systems, and re-publishes the data to OpsMgr.

Before you install the Collector, make sure the machine where the Collector component will be deployed meets the following system requirements:

Note
