Installation Requirements for VMware Procurement Offers
DevConnect has a number VMware procurement offers for installation in your own virtualized development environment, including Avaya Breeze Platform, Avaya Aura Platform (full stack or selected components), Avaya Experience Portal and the Call Management System. See the Procurement Catalog for the full list of available offers.
On this page, you'll find information about the minimum specification for each virtual machine, together with information about how to migrate your existing configuration.
Each component can be installed by selecting a "footprint". The values given in the tables below relate to the smallest available footprint for each product/component.
Avaya Aura Platform
The Avaya Aura Platform full stack, or any configuration of VMware components, can be installed on a single server, provided it meets the minimum specification, or across multiple servers. However, it is not possible to install an individual component across more than one server. Use the table below to calculate the minimum specification for installing your configuration. Remember to also allow for the installation of VMware ESXi on each server:
