Virtual system requirements

To ensure that your deployment is successful, your virtual systems must meet the minimum requirements.

The total number of virtual CPU and memory requirement depends on the number of deployments on the ESXi or Hyper-V servers.

Note

These are minimum resource requirements. Make sure that there is enough resource available when multiple virtual machines are running at the same time.

Requirement	Details
Hypervisor support	VMware ESXi 5.5 server VMware ESXi 6.0 server VMware ESXi 6.5 server VMware ESXi 6.7 server VMware ESXi 7 server Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter (Server with GUI) Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter (Server with GUI)
VM file format	Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) Hyper-V Virtual Hard disk (VHDX)
Virtual CPUs	per vATD — 16
Virtual Memory	Default 48 GB RAM
Virtual Disk	per vATD — 750 GB (VMware ESXi), 400 GB (Hyper-V)
Physical Network Interface	1 (E1000); You can configure 2 interfaces for a separate malware interface.
Virtual Network Interfaces	1 Management interface. You need to add a second virtual network interface manually, if a separate malware interface is required.
Physical system setting	Enable Virtualization Technology option in BIOS.

Note

To change the RAM allocated for existing vATD deployments from 32 GB to 48 GB, see KB94639. For new 4.12.0 OVA deployments, the memory allocated is 32 GB. To allocate additional memory, see KB94639.
