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.
