To protect the overall quality of the conference, we highly recommend that any hardware resources allocated to a Conferencing Node are reserved specifically for its own use. Pexip Infinity can take advantage of advanced CPU features, so for optimal performance we recommend that you run Conferencing Nodes on your newer host servers.ĬPUs with a large cache (15–30 MB+) are recommended over CPUs with a smaller cache (4–10 MB), especially when running 10 or more participants per conference. Multitenancy with other applications may be supported in the future, and is possible in a test environment as long as other applications on the same host server are not consuming significant CPU and Pexip Infinity can be given reserved memory. Multitenancy: this version of Pexip Infinity requires a dedicated VMware host for supported deployments.The primary disk activity will be logging. Disk: either direct attached storage or shared storage can be used.GPU: host servers do not require any specific hardware cards or GPUs.The recommended hardware requirements for the Management Node and Conferencing Node host servers are described in Server design recommendations. These include Storage DRS and Distributed Switch.įor a comparison of the VMware editions, see.
The Enterprise Plus edition includes further additional features relevant to the Pexip Infinity platform that could be of benefit to larger deployments. If you do not already use VMware in your enterprise, the vSphere Essentials Kit is a simple way to get started and will provide you with Standard edition licenses for 3 servers (with 2 CPUs each) plus a vCenter license.
This does not have the limitations of the free edition. The minimum edition of VMware that we recommend is the vSphere Standard edition. For this reason we do not recommend its use except in smaller deployments, or test or demo environments. However, this edition has a number of limitations (limited support from VMware, no access to vCenter or vMotion). The Pexip Infinity platform will run on the free edition of vSphere Hypervisor. Version 26.2 of the Pexip Infinity platform supports VMware vSphere ESXi 6.x.
Using standalone ESXi hosts (unsupported).
