Answer
Physical Requirements
- CPU: Minimum 8 vCPU
- RAM: Minimum 32 GB
- Network Adapter: Dedicated Single or Redundant 1Gbps NIC
- Disk: 10k RPM SAS HDD or SSD (preferred)
- Raid Controller: Write back caching functionality enabled (IMPORTANT)
Partition Sizing Requirements
C:\ Minimum 250 GB (system/Boot volume)
D:\ Minimum 1TB (Separate Data Volume for GFC Intelligent File Cache*)
*Minimum size is 2x the active data set. The Cache Volume (D:\) can be extended and is only restricted by the limitations of the Microsoft Windows NTFS file system. A cache volume is not required on Cores as Cores do not cache data.
