Tanium Virtual Appliance
Tanium provides virtual appliance images for the following hypervisors.
| Hypervisor | Virtual image format |
|---|---|
| VMware ESXi | OVA |
| Microsoft Hyper-V | VHD |
Each virtual appliance image contains the following default settings:
- BIOS
- 16GB RAM
- 4 CPU
- 4 NIC (VMXNET3)
- 1 HDD 1TB thick provisioned (SATA 0, VMDK Format)
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.
| TS or ZS < 5K | TS or ZS < 10K | TS or ZS < 25K | TMS < 25K | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 4 | 8 | 16 | 8 |
| RAM (GB) | 16 | 32 | 48 | 32 |
| Drives1 | 1 x 1TB thick provisioned2 | 1 x 1TB thick provisioned2 | 1 x 1TB thick provisioned2 | 1 x 1TB thick provisioned2 |

1 The virtual image contains two partitions - a primary and a backup - both of which contain the Tanium operating system (TanOS) and any installed components of the Tanium Core Platform. If you use Tanium™ Patch, each partition on the Tanium Server appliances needs an additional 500 GB of disk space to store and manage patches. If you use Tanium™ Deploy, each partition on the Tanium Server appliances needs additional disk space that is greater than or equal to twice the Deploy software library storage. 2 Thin provisioning is possible, but not recommended for production environments. Thin provisioning increases the risk that your hypervisor storage is consumed unexpectedly. |
