One installation of Tranzman Appliance can be used to convert many environments, however, the following requirements need to be met.

RAM

  • Minimum of 8GB of RAM.
  • Additional 1GB of RAM is required for every tape drive connected to the Appliance.

CPU

  • Minimum 4 core Intel CPU is required.
  • Additional 1 core for every tape drive connected to the Appliance.
  • Additional cores required for multiple conversions at the same time.
  • AMD processors are not supported at this moment.

Network

  • 1Gbit minimum connection required.
  • 10Gbit connection recommended to ensure that duplication can drive destination media at a reasonable speed.
  • 2 x 1Gbit connections (per tape drive) can be used if no 10Gbit NIC is present.
  • If multiple links are used, aggregation is needed to provide maximum throughput.

Storage

  • 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.
  • Data Volume 2 x the size of all environment catalogs. (Origin and Destination)
  • Database Volume should be the combined total number of images from environments x 500 bytes.
  • Swap Volume 2 x Memory Size. (8GB RAM = 16GB of Swap)
  • Logs Volume 25% of database volume.
