Using CA Service Virtualization › Installation and Configuration › How to Install CA Service Virtualization › System Requirements for VSE

System Requirements for VSE

The following system resources for CA Service Virtualization are baseline requirements only:

• CPU: 2 GHz or faster
• RAM: 2 GB or more
• Disk Space: 5 GB of free space
• OS: Recommended: 64-Bit operating system. Supported: Windows 2008, 7, 8, Linux, Solaris, AIX 6.1 (LISA 5.0 and later)

For larger scale CA Service Virtualization deployments, we recommend the following resources:

• 256 Virtual Service Threads for each VSE instance
• 1 Processor Core and 2GB RAM for each VSE instance

Example: 1,000,000 transactions each day

• 1 thread for each service to support functional tests
• About 6 threads for each service to support virtualization for load and performance tests.
• Eight cores are equal to 2,048 concurrent virtual service threads.
• 16 GB RAM (for DevTest).
