2.2 Sonar server requirements
Sonar is the end-point software for Sapphire active tests. The Sonar server software runs on the Linux
operating system and can be installed on dedicated server or virtual environment.
Basic server dimensioning guidelines:
Other generic requirements are:
• Intel and AMD processors
• 1Gpbs Ethernet
• CentOS 6/7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6/7
• When the same Sonar is used also by significant amount of Mobile Eye traffic, resource
requirements are higher.
Both onsite and remote Sonars are can be used. Onsite Sonar is considered highly preferable. Onsite is
within the LAN and allows measuring solely the internal network. Remote Sonar may be in Cloud or central
data center running enterprise applications.
