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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(1) It is important to respect the order and sizes of the hard disk. All hard disk must be thic provisioned. Disk 2 and 3 performace must be no less than 300 IOps.

(2) For information only; the operarating system is part of the iso and installed with the software.

 

TruView Medium Systems

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

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