Tanium Physical Appliance and Tanium Cloud Appliance specifications
Download the Tanium Infrastructure product brief for specifications of the Tanium Physical Appliance and Tanium Cloud Appliance. The Tanium Cloud Appliance has the same requirements as a Tanium Physical Appliance.
Virtual appliance specifications
Tanium provides Tanium Virtual Appliance images for the following hypervisors.
Hypervisor | Virtual image format |
---|---|
KVM | QCOW2 |
VMware ESXi | OVA |
Microsoft Hyper-V | VHD |
Each Tanium Virtual Appliance image contains the following default settings:
- Unified EFI (UEFI)
- 16GB RAM
- 4 CPU
- 1 NIC
- 500GB disk
Before you start the virtual appliance for the first time, you might need to use the VM settings utility on the hypervisor to make changes to support the recommended specifications for your deployment size.
To ensure that the response times of Tanium Core Platform servers do not adversely affect the user experience, the servers must be able to sustain I/O loads of at least 30 MBps at 2,500 IOPS and maintain disk utilization below 15 percent under such workloads. Sustaining 2,500 IOPS ensures that disk latency stays below 15 milliseconds (ms) on the drive where the servers and modules are stored.
