Introduction
Please note that these are NOT Netscout's official recommendations. These values are based on COMCERT's personal experience.
COMCERT builds, installs and maintains nGeniusOne Server on any physical server or virtual machine, provided that the following minimum specifications are met.
The resulting system will be almost identical to that of our Performance Management Appliance 65 and 85. These appliances incorporate over 15 years of experience building, installing and operating test and measurement equipment.

Solution
Minimum system requirements for physical servers
Small: less than 5 concurrent users and/or less than 20 interfaces, without UC
- Enterprise class server with:
- Single hex core processor 1.9 GHz or better
- 24GB of RAM
- 3 SATA HD 7.2K rpm 1TB or better (RAID 5)
- 2-port Gigabit NIC
- Out-of-band management like iDRAC or ILO preferred
Medium: less than 10 concurrent users and/or less than 50 interfaces, with or without UC
- Enterprise class server with:
- Dual quad core processor 2.4 GHz or better
- 64GB of RAM
- 3 SAS HD 7.2K rpm 1TB or better (RAID 5)
- 2-port Gigabit NIC
- Out-of-band management like iDRAC or ILO preferred
Large: more than 10 concurrent users and/or between 50 and 100 interfaces, with or without UC
- Enterprise class server with:
- Dual quad core processor 3.6 GHz or better
- 64GB of RAM
- 3 SAS HD 7.2K rpm 1TB or better (RAID 5)
- 2-port Gigabit NIC
- Out-of-band management like iDRAC or ILO preferred
Minimum system requirements for virtual machines
NGS has been tested with KVM and VMware ESXi 5.5 and higher. Start small; resources can be added easily when required.
The virtual machine will be build from a custom OVF template, not available upfront.
The number of CPU and memory size may be reduced after installationt buy it is required during installation.
- VM version 10 (requires ESXi version 5.5 or higher) with:
- 8 CPU
- 32GB memory
- 2 NIC (VMXNET3)
- 1 SCSI controller (LSI Logic Parallel)
- First hard disk: 65GB (thick provision lazy zeroed)
- Second hard disk: 135GB minimum (thick provision lazy zeroed)
