Introduction

We recommend the following virtual machine sizes:

For nGeniusPULSE without SNMP polling (only synthetic testing): model J

For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP polling: model K

For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP polling > 2000 objects: model M

 

Solution

nGeniusPulse Small System

This deployment has been tested in situations where there are less than 50 nPoints and no infrastructure monitoring.

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

Virtual Machine Settings nGeniusPULSE Server
Type J
CPU 4
Memory 48GB
Network adapter 1 1x VMXNET3
Hard disk 1 (see 1) 86GB
Hard disk 2 (see 1) 12GB
Hard disk 3 (see 1) 64GB
Guest OS (see 2) 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; choose your datastore accordingly.

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

 

nGeniusPULSE Medium System

This deployment has been tested in situations where there are less than 250 nPoints and less than 500 monitorred elements.

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

Virtual Machine Settings nGeniusPULSE Server
Type K
CPU 8
Memory 64GB
Network adapter 1 1x VMXNET3
Hard disk 1 (see 1) 40GB
Hard disk 2 (see 1) 10GB
Hard disk 3 (see 1) 200GB
Guest OS (see 2) CentOS 7

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

This VM complies with Netscout's minimal specifications.

Virtual Machine Settings nGeniusPULSE Server
Type M
CPU 24
