VMware recommends installation of the Orchestrator and Gateway applications as a virtual machine (i.e. guest instance) on an existing hypervisor.

The SD-WAN Orchestrator requires the following minimal guest instance specifications:

  • 8 Intel vCPU's at 2.5 Ghz or higher
    Note: Although we recommend using Intel Xeon processors, similar Intel or AMD processors having the same or greater CPU frequency are also acceptable.
  • 64 GB of memory
  • Required Minimum IOPS: 5,000 IOPS
  • SD-WAN Orchestrator requires 4 SSD based persistent volumes (expandable through LVM if needed)
    • 128GB x 1 - Root
    • 1TB x 1 - Store
    • 500GB x 1 - Store2
    • 1TB x 1 - Store3
  • 1 Gbps NIC
  • Ubuntu x64 server VM compatibility
  • Single public IP address (Can be made available through NAT)
