1.1. Requirements for Standalone Installations¶

The recommended hardware requirements for running Virtuozzo 7 as a standalone installation are as follows:

• x86-64 platform with hardware virtualization support: Intel VT-x (with “unrestricted guest”),

  Note

  To check if the Intel processor supports the “unrestricted guest” feature: 1) Download vmxcap.py from https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/scripts/kvm/vmxcap, 2) Run python vmxcap.py | grep -i unrest. The result must be yes.

• CPU: at least 4 cores, a 64-bit processor is required for running 64-bit guest operating systems,

• RAM: 4 GB or more,

• HDD: 64 GB or more,

• SSD (optional): at least 30 GiB (at least 32 GiB with /boot)

• Network: an Ethernet network adapter and a valid IP address.

The actual number of virtual machines and containers you can run on a physical server and their performance depend on resources they will consume.
