- Medium: 300GB
- Large: 450GB
External Platform Services Controller:- Tiny: 86GB
- Small: 108GB

- Large: 280GB
External Platform Services Controller Appliance:- Tiny: 30GB

| Memory in the vCenter Server Appliance | Platform Services Controller Only: 2GB RamAll components on one Appliance.- Tiny: 8GB RAM
- Small: 16GB RAM
- Medium: 24GB RAM

|
| CPUs in the vCenter Server Appliance | Platform Services Controller Only: 2 CPUsAll components on one Appliance.- Tiny: 2 CPUs

- Tiny Environment (up to 10 Hosts, 100 Virtual Machines)
- Small Environment (up to 100 Hosts, 1,000 Virtual Machines)
- Medium Environment (up to 400 Hosts, 4,000 Virtual Machines)
- Large Environment (up to 1,000 Hosts, 10,000 Virtual Machines)
* and I see on prerequisite on Database as below:
Database Type | Configuration Notes |
|---|
Embedded PostgreSQL | For vCenter Server 6.5, the bundled PostgreSQL database is suitable for environments with up to 20 hosts and 200 virtual machines.
Important If you use the embedded PostgreSQL database, uninstalling vCenter Server on Windows, uninstalls the embedded database, and all data is lost.
|
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 or higher | Ensure that the machine has a valid ODBC DSN entry. |
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 | Ensure that the machine has a valid ODBC DSN entry. |
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 | Ensure that the machine has a valid ODBC DSN entry. |
Oracle 11g and Oracle 12c | Ensure that the machine has a valid ODBC DSN entry. After you complete the vCenter Server installation, apply the latest patch to the Oracle client and server. |
================================================================
My Question is if i would to use vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 for Large platform, Can I use with ProgreSQL embedded Database or not? or I have to integrated vCenter server appliance with external Database?
one more thing, regarding to external DB, beside Oracle and SQL server, Can I use with MySQL or ProgreSQL (external, not embedded one) instead?
Thank you for all of your values advice.
