The following table lists the minimum resource requirements for installation.

Category	Requirements
CPU	Intel x86_64 or AMD 64-bit CPU with at least 4 CPU cores (1 CPU core per managed server or cluster recommended).
Memory	Minimum of 12 GiB or 1 GiB per managed server or cluster, if higher.
Storage for virtual machine host	100 GiB of free hard drive space on the hypervisor (50 GiB consumed by VM disk image).
Network	1 GigE network adapter.
IP address	IP addresses used to connect to the VSP One File management software. Note: Each virtual machine you deploy requires at least one IP address for management UI access.
Virtual machine host	VMware vSphere^® ESXi version 7.0u2 or later. Microsoft^® Hyper-V Manager version 10.0.22621.1 or later. Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) Virtual Machine Manager 1:3.2.0-3 or later. Proxmox Virtual Environment version 8.2.2 or later.
Memory for virtual machine host	32 GB

Note: The physical hardware should exceed the minimum requirements so that the host has resources beyond those allocated to the virtual machine. In particular, the host should have more physical RAM than is allocated to the virtual management software.

The latency of the VSP One File management software acting as a quorum device for a VSP One File cluster must be less than five seconds. If the measured latency is near five seconds, you should reconsider deploying the VSP One File management software.
