Requirements

Minimal Cloud requirements:

Vmware ESX 5 or 6
64 bits infrastructures only
E1000 NIC emulation or VMXNET3 interfaces
One Ethernet adapter for management
One or more Ethernet adapter(s) for data

Sessions	CPU	RAM	Disk Space	Ethernet ports
Up to 5,000	2	4 Gb	40 Gb	1 Gbps
5,000-20,000	4	8 Gb	60 Gb	4 X 1 Gbps or 1 X 10 Gbps
20,000-50,000	4**	16 Gb	80 Gb	1 X 10 Gbps
Above 50,000	6**	24+ Gb	100 Gb	Multiple 10 Gbps

** The CPU number is based on Intel R630. Double the CPUs number if yours are from a earlier generations.

For better performance (see optimization section)

CPU resource: allocation shares set to 'high'
CPU resource: reservation set to maximum and no limit (i.e. 'unlimited')
Memory resource: reserve all guest memory (all locked)
Disk: shares 'high'
Advanced CPU: Hyperthread core sharing to 'None'
Latency Sensitivity: 'High'

Getting the Image

Please contact our sales team at sales@telcobridges.com to get a copy of the latest TBSC Image.

Installation on VmWare cloud

TBSC VmWare Image

A virtual machine image is a single file that contains a virtual disk that has a bootable operating system installed on it. Images are used to create virtual machine instances within the cloud.

You will need to upload the latest TSBC image into your VmWare before you can launch a virtual machine instance running the TSBC software.

Launching an instance

Using the ESXi Web client

Using the vSphere client application

Accessing the TSBC-SW

Accessing the TSBC-SW web portal

Open a web browser to the management IP of the TSBC, on port 12358. Example if your server address is 10.0.0.79, the URL would be:
http://10.0.0.79:12358
You should get to the TSBC Configuration Wizard

From here, you can go to Web Portal Initial Configuration Guide to continue the installation, and/or optimize your server to get the maximum out of your server.

Web Portal Initial Configuration

Click on the following link to pursue installation from the web portal: TSBC-SW:WebPortal:Initial Configuration
