EC-V Host System Requirements Based on Bandwidth
The following table outlines the EC-V hypervisor requirements based on bandwidth needs with or without WAN Optimization.
| How much SD-WAN BW† do you need? |
Processor Cores (>3 GHz) | Memory (DDR4 or better) | Pre ECOS 9.3.4 / 9.4.3 Storage Requirements (Disk 1 for ECV / Network Memory Disk 2 for WAN Optimization††) |
ECOS 9.3.4+ / 9.4.3+ Storage Requirements (Disk 1 for ECV / Network Memory Disk 2 for WAN Optimization††) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 1 Gbps | 4 Cores | 16 GB | 30 GB / 70 GB | 60 GB / 70 GB |
| Up to 2 Gbps | 4 Cores | 16 GB | 30 GB / 70 GB | 60 GB / 70 GB |
| Up to 4 Gbps | 8 Cores | 16 GB | 30 GB / 70 GB | 60 GB / 70 GB |
| Up to 6 Gbps | 16 Cores | 64 GB | 30 GB / 70 GB | 60 GB / 70 GB |
†Bidirectional, full duplex (symmetrical ingress and egress) WAN bandwidth. Compiled from performance tests spanning UDP & TCP testing in both SD-WAN fabric and Breakout (passthrough) scenarios. Recommended SD-WAN Bandwidth assumes average packet size of 1400 bytes.
††Pre ECOS versions 9.3.4/9.4.3 upgraded to ECOS 9.3.4+/9.4.3+ do not require an upgrade to the 30 GB disk (ECOS disk 1) and will continue to operate as usual. Only new OVA installations of 9.3.4+/9.4.3+ deploy a 60 GB disk.
