Component	Minimum Requirements (unless noted)
Teradata licensing	A Teradata license is required to deploy Vantage Base, Advanced, or Enterprise license tier.
vCPU	Analytics Database: 2 or more (even numbers only) TMS: DSC: 4 Server Management (CMIC): 2 Teradata Viewpoint and Query Service: 2
Memory	Analytics Database: 30 GB or more TMS: DSC: 16 GB Server Management (CMIC): 16 GB Teradata Viewpoint and Query Service: 16 GB
Datastores for database storage	External storage with high performance SSDs is highly recommended. The storage sub-system is a common bottleneck resulting in performance degradation. Teradata recommends providing as much throughput and reduced latency as possible.
Datastore formatting	VMFS 5 or 6 file system
Datastore space for template deployment	The Analytics Database image is resized during deployment to allow for memory dumps of large memory. TPA image is 200GB and allows up to 100GB of memory with resizing. Memory sizes above 100GB increase the image as needed.
Server	VMware supported OEM hardware. Hyper-threading (HT) must be enabled.
Network	BYNET®: Two 10 Gb networks to support redundancy TMS: DSC: 10 Gb separate network Server Management: Minimum 2 x 1 Gb separate (isolated) physical networks for CMIC connectivity
VMware administrative privileges	You must have administrative privileges on the destination VMware environment to install and configure the VMs.
VM deployment sizes	Analytics Database (TPA): 200 GB + memory over 80 GB. Image resizes during deployment. DSC: 500 GB Server Management (CMIC): 26 GB Teradata Viewpoint and Query Service: 456 GB
VMware ESXi	ESXi 7.0 and later
VMware	VMware licensing is required as appropriate to the customer environment. VMware management features such as DRS, vMotion, SvMotion, HA, and VMware Snapshots are part of the database and are not used or supported as they will break the database.
VMware vCenter	vCenter 7.0 and later
VMware vSphere vStandard / vDistributed Switch Port Groups	For an Analytics Database single-node: One vSphere port group for customer production network. For DSC: One vSphere Virtual Machine port group on a VMware vSwitch enabled with Jumbo Frames (9000 MTU) for DSC network. For Server Management: Two vSphere switches for the CMIC network (one is the minimum and two is recommended for redundancy). If all the vNodes (TPA VMs) are within the same pNode (ESXi hosts), no physical adapters need to be attached to the vSphere port group. If there are any physical adapters attached to the vSphere port group, make sure they are cabled correctly.
PowerCLI	VMware PowerCLI 7.0 and later
Physical Switches	Physical switches are required to use Jumbo Frame (MTU 9000) for the BYNET and Teradata DSC private network or file transfer issues will occur when configuring Vantage.
Server Management (CMIC)	To deploy a Server Management (CMIC) VM, you must have a valid site ID. A site ID was assigned during the sales cycle. If you do not know the ID, contact your account team.
