Deployment Considerations
Your must have sufficient system resources to deploy AppSpeed.
When planning your AppSpeed deployment, make sure that you have these system resource requirements.
n
Server
n
40GB hard disk drive
n
4GB RAM
n
2 vCPUs
Virtual CPUs are created as part of the AppSpeed deployment. In addition, AppSpeed reserves
3000MHz.
n
Probes
n
5GB hard disk drive
n
0.5GB RAM
n
2 vCPUs
Virtual CPUs are created as part of the AppSpeed deployment. Two vCPUs require no more than the
equivalent resources of a single physical CPU.
Port Requirements
AppSpeed requires that specific ports be open on your firewall.
Table 1-1. Open Port Requirements
Server Connection Required Open Ports
AppSpeed Server to vCenter Server
TCP port 443 Connects to vCenter Server for the vCenter interface.
Port 443 is the vCenter default Web service port, but you can configure a
different TCP port in vCenter.
TCP port 80 Connects to vCenter Server for the vCenter proxy interface.
This port is used only during setup to verify that the vCenter proxy is
configured correctly.
Port 80 is the vCenter default proxy service port, but you can configure a
different TCP port in vCenter.
vCenter Client to AppSpeed Server
TCP ports 80 and 443 Connects to AppSpeed Server (Web interface). You can configure a
different TCP port during AppSpeed setup.
AppSpeed Server and probe communication
TCP port 1194 Connects to AppSpeed Server (OpenVPN over a TCP connection).
UDP port 123 Connects to AppSpeed Server (NTP).
TCP port 22 Connects to the probes if you want to access the probes from outside the
VPN.
vSphere to vCenter Server
TCP port 80 Connects to vCenter Server (vCenter proxy interface).
Port 80 is the vCenter default proxy service port, but you can configure a
