Use the information in the following table to verify that you meet the requirements for SocialAccess before deploying the appliance.

Requirements |
---|---|
Supported Virtual Environments |
The appliance requires one of the following virtual environments:
|
Virtual System Guest Requirements |
Minimum hardware requirements for each appliance node in the cluster:
NOTE:The default memory allocation is 8 GB, but you can change the memory allocation as needed before powering on the appliance. The appliance can be a heavy consumer of CPU, disk I/O, and network bandwidth. Performance can be adversely affected by other virtual machines with similar operational requirements deployed on the same VMware host server. As a best practice, ensure that you group or separate virtual machines on hosts and data stores to avoid resource conflicts for CPU, disk I/O, and network bandwidth. You can do this manually as you deploy virtual machines, or use affinity and anti-affinity rules if they are available in your VMware environment. |
Client Workstations |
Administration: Supported workstations for administration tasks:
Users: Supported workstations for users:
|
Browsers |
Administration: Supported browsers for administration tasks on a supported workstation:
Users: Supported browsers for users on a supported workstation:
NOTE:You must disable pop-up blockers to access the administration console. If you experience any issues with a supported browser, ensure that you have the latest version of the browser installed, or try another supported browser. Administering the appliance with Internet Explorer may be slower than with other supported browsers. |
Cluster |
Supported cluster configuration:
|
DNS |
SocialAccess requires that all appliance nodes, administration workstations, end user workstations, and identity sources be able to resolve the public DNS name of the appliance. |
