, make sure the Virtual Machine (VM) host meets the following recommended hardware, server platform and software requirements.SBC SWe for VMware – Server Hardware Requirements
Note
Ribbon is retiring the 2 vCPU for the SBC SWe private cloud as of the 12.0 release.
The The following table lists the server hardware requirements: Intel Xeon processors (Nehalem micro-architecture or above) with 6 cores and above (processors should support hyper threading). Ribbon recommends using Westmere (or newer) processors for better SRTP performance. These processors have the AES-NI instruction set for performing cryptographic operations in hardware. The supported CPU Family number is 6 and CPU Model number must be newer than 26. Refer to the Intel Architecture and Processor Identification document for more information. ESXi 6.5 and later releases require approximately 2 physical cores to be set aside for hypervisor functionality. The number of VMs which can be hosted on a server must be planned for accordingly. Minimum 4 NICs, if physical NIC redundancy is not required. Ribbon recommends using SR-IOV with 10 Gbps interfaces (e.g., x540/82599/x710). Although SR-IOV is supported on 1 Gbps, the 10 Gbps interfaces provide better throughput. Use the latest firmware for the specific NIC corresponding to the hardware platform. Make sure NICs have multi-queue support which enhances network performance by allowing RX and TX queues to scale with the number of CPUs on multi-processor systems. The VMware Enterprise Plus license is required for SR-IOV. Number of ports allowed:

SBC SWe for VMware – Software Requirements
Using older versions of ESXi can trigger a VM instance shutdown. To prevent this from occurring, you must upgrade the VMware ESXi -- refer to the End of General Support column on https://lifecycle.vmware.com/#/ for supported versions. The following are the Version The version must be supported. See the End of General Support column at https://lifecycle.vmware.com/#/ for supported versions. The VMware Enterprise Plus license is required for SR-IOV.
