=== TomCat Memory Throttle ===
The Tomcat webserver (used to provide VC Web-services), can be very memory hungry (up to 1GB) in comparison to when it ran on VC v2.5 (normally around 50MB).  This can be throttled down, though this is only recommended for small, non-production installations (<10 ESX's).

## Append <code> --JvmMx=256 </code> (MB) to end of <code> HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vctomcat\ImagePath </code>
# Restart the service
## <code> VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices </code>
