Learn more about how to install the InformaCast Virtual Appliance for your organization in this three-minute video.
Hello! I'm going to show you the fastest way to get Singlewire InformaCast up and running in your environment. This is a new product we're calling the InformaCast Virtual Appliance. First, download the virtual appliance from singlewire.com. A virtual appliance is a single file called an OVA file. This virtual appliance contains both a linux operating system and the InformaCast application.
Next, I'll show you how to turn the OVA file into a running <span class="STsearchMatch">virt</span>ual machine in your VMware ESX environment. Let's see this in action. We've already downloaded the OVA file from singlewire.com, now let's deploy it. First thing we need to do is to tell VSphere where the OVA file is, we'll confirm the size of the virtual appliance, we'll give the virtual appliance a name, and we'll choose what network to connect it to.
Now let's deploy it. So now that we've deployed, lets open the console to that virtual machine. And power it on. So you see at this point Linux starts to boot and you can see here the boot is complete. Before we can start installing and using InformaCast, we have to assign the server's IP address.
Lets log in as the default administrator and assign one. So we assign an IP address, and a default gateway and accept those values. So next let's switch over to a web browser. And log in to the administrative interface of InformaCast. So here's the login page. I've shown you how easy it is to deploy the InformaCast Virtual Appliance.
