Host requirements for VQ Conference Manager 3.11.x

Workload	1-8 Call Bridges ("Normal to Large")
Calls per month	Less than 1,000,000 Participant Joins/Month
Hypervisor	VMware ESXi 6.0, 6.5, 6.7 or 7.0
Recommended Processor	Processors with characteristics similar to or, in excess of, the following will be suitable. NOTE: We do not recommend running processors older than those listed as their performance can be materially slower. We expect to update this table with later generation processors once Xeon ‘Saphire Rapid’s’ based systems are more widely available in the Q2 2023 timeframe. Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 @ 2.10 GHz CPU Mark: 26,485 Introduced: Q3 2017 Intel Xeon Gold 6148 @ 2.40 GHz CPU Mark: 29,197 Introduced: Q1 2018
Processor Cores	4
Memory	16 GB RAM per VM
Disk	350 GB (SSD recommended) Do not use slow disks (7,200 RPM or below); Elastic is an I/O intensive component and slow disks can cause slow system loads or even prevent system load.
VMs	1	2
Concurrent users accessing the API (using either the Outlook Add-in, Outlook Plug-in or iOS App)	500*	n/a
Concurrent users accessing the API (using the Web UI)	200*	n/a
*The combined total users concurrently accessing the User Interface via the API should not exceed 500. The Outlook Add-in, Jabber Add-in, Outlook Plug-In and IOS applications were updated at VQCM 3.6.x to be more efficient with system resources and are designed to enable higher numbers of users. Future releases will continue to increase maximum usage values for these applications.
Workload	Very Large/Extreme
Calls per month	More than 1,000,000 Participant Joins/Month
