vRealize Operations Manager is used to analyze and process data from different sources into a single repository, thus allowing you to understand every layer of your environment.

This course will start off by diving into the basics of how to read and manage vRealize Operations, from understanding the layout of the UI, granting people access, bring data into vRealize Operations with solutions and understanding the badge system. This introduction to the basics will build a solid foundation on which we will further build with later modules.It will move beyond the standard product documentation and explain both why and how vRealize Operations should be deployed, configured, and used in your environment. The targeted version of this course is 6.3.x, but it is backward-compatible down to version 6.0.

This course will help you gain a deep understanding of vRealize Operations and will teach you how to best apply the product to everyday operations management use cases.
