Recommended Form Factor for VMware vCenter (Instance Types)

The form factor (instance type) of the GigaVUE V Series Node is configured on the OVF file and packaged as part of the OVA image file.

Instance types can differ for GigaVUE V Series Nodes in different ESXi hosts. Small is the default type.

The table below lists the available form factors (instance types) based on memory and the number of vCPUs for a single GigaVUE V Series Node.

Type	Memory	vCPU	Disk space	vNIC
Small	4GB	2 vCPU	8GB	1 Management interface, 1 Tunnel interface, and 8 vTAP interfaces
Medium	8GB	4 vCPU
Large	16GB	8 vCPU

Note:  When running GigaSMART applications such as Application Visualization, Application Metadata, and Application Filtering, use the Large instance size (8 vCPU and 16 GB RAM). The Large instance supports up to 200k flows on VMware.
You can contact your account manager or Gigamon Technical Support to identify a suitable form factor.
