Prerequisites
Before you integrate the NetScaler virtual instance with OpenStack platform, ensure that the following requirements are met:
NetScaler Console and OpenStack Software Requirements
-
NetScaler Console 13.1 is installed on a supported hypervisor workstation that meets the minimum hardware requirements system.
-
OpenStack components are installed and running.
-
NetScaler Console 13.1 supports the following OpenStack versions - Newton, Ocata, Pike, and Queens.
NetScaler Console Hardware Requirements
Ensure the following virtual computing resources are on your OpenStack server to install NetScaler virtual instances:
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| RAM | 8 GB |
| Virtual CPU | 8 |
| Storage Space | 500 GB |
| Virtual Network Interfaces | 1 |
| Throughput | 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps |
Note
The memory and hard disk requirements specified are for deploying NetScaler Console on the OpenStack platform, considering that there are no other virtual machines running on the host. The hardware requirements for OpenStack depend on the number of virtual machines running on it.
