Introduction

We recommend the following virtual machine sizes.

 

Solution

TruView Small System

This deployment has been tested in situations where there is one TruView Central in combination with one TruView Flow (5K, 20K or 50K) and no TruView Packet.

All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.

OS (see 2) CentOS 7 CentOS 7 CentOS 7 CentOS 7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TruView Medium Systems

This deployment has been tested in situations where there is one TruView Central in combination and any combination of TruView Flow appliances to a total of 300K flow/s and up to four TruView Packets.

All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.

Virtual Machine Settings TruView Central Medium TruView Flow 5K TruView Flow 20K TruView Flow 50K

OS (see 2) CentOS 7 CentOS 7 CentOS 7 CentOS 7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TruView Large Systems

These are the offcial NetScout virtual machine specifications.

(2) For information only; the OS is part of the *.iso and it will be installed together with the application.
