This section describes the prerequisites, including the hardware and network requirements, for installing and using Protegrity appliances on Azure.
The following prerequisites are essential to install the Protegrity appliances on Azure:
Before you begin:
Ensure that you use the following order to create a virtual machine on Azure:
Order | Description |
---|---|
1 | Create a Resource Group |
2 | Create a Storage Account |
3 | Create a Container |
4 | Obtain the Azure BLOB |
5 | Create an image from the BLOB |
6 | Create a VM from the image |
As the Protegrity appliances are hosted and run on Azure, the hardware requirements are dependent on the configurations provided by Microsoft. However, these requirements can change based on the customer requirements and budget. The actual hardware configuration depends on the actual usage or amount of data and logs expected.
The minimum recommendation for an appliance is 8 CPU cores and 32 GB memory. This option is available under the Standard_D8s_v3 option on Azure.
