Minimum Hardware Requirements

Understand the minimum hardware requirements before installing the On-Premises Controller for Prisma SD-WAN.
On-premises controller is supported on all ION device models. You can increase the hardware resource size to scale the required number of devices or sites.
For any installation support, contact Customer Support or the Product Management team.
For 10 sites/20 Devices:
  • CPU: 8 Cores CPU.
    • 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge or later OR Tiger Lake or later Celeron or Pentium processor.
    • AMD® x86-64 Bulldozer or later.
    • 2.10Ghz Base Frequency/3.90Ghz Boost frequency or better.
  • Memory: 64 GB DDR4 - 3200 MHz.
  • Storage size: 500 GB SSD.
  • Storage performance: 500 IOPS/sec.
  • Networking: 1GE NIC.
For 500 Sites/1000 Devices:
  • CPU: 64 Cores CPU.
    • 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge or later OR Tiger Lake or later Celeron or Pentium processor.
    • AMD® x86-64 Bulldozer or later.
    • 2.10 Ghz Base Frequency/3.90 Ghz Boost frequency or better.
  • Memory: 256 GB DDR4 - 3200 MHz.
  • Storage size: 4 TB SSD.
  • Storage performance: 1200 IOPS/sec.
  • Networking: 1 GE NIC.
For 1000 sites, the assumption for the hardware scaling requirement is 65 flows/10sec per device.
