To help determine the correct sizing for a Tranzman Appliance Deployment, it is recommended that the Tranzman Recorder is used to help better understand the current environment and its sizing.
A deployment can be done either using an ISO image, or in the case of VMware an OVA template (A virtual appliance should only be used for same-vendor transitions, and where no connectivity to tape media or very large ( > 2TB) disk volumes is required)
The OVA template can be used for environments with up to 2 Million images without any modifications. We recommend an additional 2GB of ram per 500K additional images.
A single Tranzman Appliance can be used to convert many environments, the following considerations need to be taken into account when sizing it.
RAM |
| RAM Size | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Minimum 2G | Using appliance only for assessments |
| Minimum 8GB | Migrating Same Vendor |
| Minimum 8GB | Migrating Cross Vendor |
 |
Note: Additional 1GB of RAM is required for every tape drive connected to the Appliance |
CPU |
| CPU Core | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Minimum 4 core Intel CPU | Migrating Same Vendor |
| Minimum 8 core Intel CPU | Migrating Cross Vendor |
|
Note: Additional 1 core for every tape drive connected to the Appliance
|
Network |
- 1Gbit minimum connection required (for Same Vendor migration and recovery on Demand).
- 10Gbit connection recommended for Cross Vendor to ensure that tape drive are kept running at a reasonable speed.
- If multiple links are used, aggregation is needed to provide maximum throughput.
- Multiple connections may be required if there are multiple tape drives.
Ports |
The appliance needs to communicate over the network. If you have internal firewalls, you must allow the following connections or the appliance cannot function.
Backup Servers (Clients of Tranzman) |

Storage |
- Minimum 3GB local disk for OS Installation.
- Local/SAN attached disks needed for temporary staging of converted images, sized according to volume of recoveries to accommodate at any one time. The following is for guidance only, it would be recommended that you use the Tranzman Recorder and Stone Ram Consulting Services to correctly size the volumes.
