managing hosts across the country

[sawag]

Hello All,

We have a scenario in which our head office is located in one country (abc) and have the branch office in another country (xyz). We deployed some number of hosts (5 hosts) in our branch office and want to manage these hosts through a vCenter server which we have in our Head Office. Now please advise the requirements in terms of firewall ports, required bandwidth etc..

Thanks in advance.

It does not need any special designs, Considering the remote site is accessible from your current network.

Thanks for the reply. In my case, I have the only vCenter server in one country and the two hosts in another country. Two ESXi hosts are in the same location but vCenter server is running in the head office outside of the country. We cann't create vCenter server in the same location as the management wants to manage these hosts from the Head Office.

Please ensure that network latency between the Vcenter server and host management network
