Why this matters: an on-prem vCenter environment is capacity you already own or lease — the cost happened whether it's fully used or not. Connecting it here is how you find out whether that capacity is actually being used well, and how it gets folded into the same cost picture as everything else in Mavvrik.
This shows up differently depending on your role:
-
Infrastructure teams handle the actual appliance deployment and vCenter user setup covered in the pages below.
-
FinOps managers use the resulting data to see on-prem VMware spend alongside cloud spend, instead of as a separate, disconnected number.
