Requirements
Minimal Cloud requirements:
- Vmware ESX 5 or 6
- 64 bits infrastructures only
- E1000 NIC emulation or VMXNET3 interfaces
- One Ethernet adapter for management (mgmt0)
- Two Ethernet adapters for control (ctrl0/ctrl1) when transcoding or 1+1 is used. Not needed otherwise.
- One or more Ethernet adapter(s) for data (SIP/RTP) according to the table below (LAN/WAN)

** 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'

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 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 192.168.178.30, the URL would be:
http://192.168.178.30:12358 - 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.
