CDP Proxy

The following table shows the minimum system requirements for a CDP proxy.

CDP Proxy

Specification

Requirement

Hardware

CPU : x86-64 processor with 4 cores (vCPUs) minimum. Using multi-core processors improves data processing performance and allows for more tasks to be processed concurrently. Enabling the encryption may cause the performance reduction: in this case, increase the vCPU count up to 2 times.

Memory: 8 GB RAM minimum. Using more memory allows for longer peak write I/O periods before a CDP policy switches to the disk-based write I/O cache. Using faster memory improves data processing performance.

Disk Space: 300 MB plus disk-based write I/O cache (non-persistent data, at least 50 GB recommended). Larger cache allows for longer network downtime periods before a CDP policy switches to the CBT mode.

Network: 100 Mbps or faster.

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2025
