Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the new common platform architecture design and how Operations Manager 6.0 differs from Operations Manager 5.x. We also covered the major components that make up the Operations Manager 6.0 platform and the functions that each of the component layers provide. We then moved on to the various roles of each node type, and finally, how multi-node and HA deployment functions and what design considerations are needed to be taken into account when designing these environments. In the next chapter, we will cover how to deploy vROps 6.0 based on this new architecture.
