Virtual Machine Sizing

Minimum (up to 500 components)

• CPU: Intel Xeon, 8 cores

• RAM: 16 GB

• Storage: 500 GB SSD

Recommended (10,000 components without Center DPI):

• CPU: Intel Xeon, 10 cores

• RAM: 32 GB

• Storage: 1 TB SSD, RAID-10

For over 10,000 components or with Center DPI:

• CPU: Intel Xeon, 16 cores

• RAM: 64 GB

• Storage: 1 TB SSD, RAID-10

Network Requirements

IP Addresses

• 1–2 IP addresses for the Center, based on single or dual interface configuration:

  • Single interface: One IP for web interface and SSH administration.

  • Dual interface: One IP for protocol data from sensors (Collection network) and one for web interface/SSH (Administration network).

  • One IP address per sensor, ideally on a dedicated LAN or VLAN (Industrial network interface). Not applicable for Global Center.

  • An additional interface for DPI if deploying a Center with sensor functionality on ESXi.

• NTP Server: Accessible from the Center (typically configured via a router).

• Machine Name: A unique name, configured in DNS or on each client, required for secure communication between clients (users or APIs) and the Center.
