Processor

Intel Xeon processors (Nehalem micro-architecture or above)

Note

It is recommended to use Westmere (or newer) processors for better SRTP performance. These processors have the AES-NI instruction set for performing cryptographic operations in hardware.

Note

The supported CPU family is 6 and CPU models must be newer than 26.

RAMMinimum 24 GB
Hard DiskMinimum 500 GB
Network Interface Cards (NICs)
Minimum 4 NICs, if physical NIC redundancy is not required.

Otherwise, 8 NICs (preferably with SR-IOV capability to support future SWe optimizations).

Note

Make sure NIC has multi-queue support which enhances network performance by allowing RX and TX queues to scale with the number of CPUs on multi-processor systems.

Note

Only Intel I350 Ethernet adapter is supported for configuring as VMDirectPath I/O pass-through device.

Ports

Number of ports allowed:

  • 1 Management port
  • 1 HA port
  • 2 Media ports
