Orchestrator System Requirements 2
Your system must meet the technical requirements that are necessary for Orchestrator to work properly.
For a list of the supported versions of vCenter Server, see VMware Product Interoperability Matrix.

Hardware Requirements for Orchestrator
Verify that your system meets the minimum hardware requirements before you install Orchestrator.
n
2.0GHz or faster Intel or AMD x86 processor. At least two CPUs are recommended. Processor
requirements might differ if your database runs on the same hardware.
n
4GB RAM. You might need more RAM if your database runs on the same hardware.
n
2GB disk space. You might need more storage if your database runs on the same hardware.
n
A free static IP address.
Hardware Requirements for the Orchestrator Appliance
The Orchestrator Appliance is a preconfigured Linux-based virtual machine. Before you deploy the
appliance, verify that your system meets the minimum hardware requirements.
The Orchestrator Appliance has the following hardware configuration:
n
2 CPUs
n
3GB of memory
n
12GB hard disk
Do not reduce the default memory size, because the Orchestrator server requires at least 2GB of free
memory.
