Introduction
InfiniStream virtual appliances are build from OVF.
These are the properties of the vitual machines immediately after deployment.
Solution
nGenius Flow Collector Virtual Appliance (SKU: V-03300-32-PA)
| Virtual Hardware | Size |
|---|---|
| CPU | 8 |
| Memory | 8 GB |
| Hard Disk 1 | 50 GB (Thick Provisioned) |
| Hard Disk 2 | * |
| Network adapter 1 | E1000 |
| Network adapter 2 | <absent> |
| Network adapter 3 | <absent> |
The size of the second hard disk that will serve as data store, is configurable during ovf deployment.
The size of this hard disk depends on the number of flows per second received form the flow exporting devices and the number of days you want session details to remain available.
Use this table for guidance.
| Flow per second | Retention | Hard Disk 2 Size |
|---|---|---|
| 5k | 7 d | 200 GB |
| 20k | 7 d | 800 GB |
| 50k | 7 d | 2 TB |
| 5k | 14 d | 400 GB |
| 20k | 14 d | 1600 GB |
| 50k | 14 d | 4 TB |
This second hard disk shall be Thick Provisioned.
vSTREAM STL (SKU: VSTREAM-0-008)
