For deployments that require it, you can instantiate the SBC SWe in smaller-sized configurations that use limited memory and vCPU resources. The following benchmarking information applies to these configurations. Refer to Small SBC SWe Deployment Characteristics for limitations and restrictions in such deployments.
Ribbon performed testing of 2 vCPU SBC SWe setups on VMware and KVM Hypervisor systems with the following characteristics.
The default SWe traffic profile must be used for all 2 vCPU deployments. The following values apply to both VMware and KVM Hypervisor deployments.
Ribbon performed testing of reduced-memory setups on KVM Hypervisor systems with the following characteristics.
The following table lists the performance benchmarks for a system deployed with 6 GB of RAM and 4 vCPUs.
The following table lists the performance benchmarks for a system deployed with 9.5 GB of RAM and 8 vCPUs.
