Overview

This article explains the required specification for Virtual Servers (Hosts) according with current hypervisor technology. See the VMWare How To Guide for further information.

Server Specifications

The minimum requirements for a Virtual Machine Host server, this applies to v3.x or v4.x appliances.

Typical Swivel Appliance Specification would be:

  • 4GB RAM
  • 1 Dual/Quad core CPU
  • 80GB HDD
  • VMware ESX/ESXi 4 or above
  • Hyper-V 2008 R2, 2012 R2 or above
  • Citrix Xen Server 6.2 or above
  • 1 X nic (single) or 2 X nic (HA)


Thin Mode Deployment

VMware allows Swivel servers to deploy with a minimal 10Gb config and then expand. This is useful for testing and small deployments.
