DPOD can be installed on either a Virtualized Environment (Hypervisors) or Physical server (Intel(C) based CPUs and supporting CentOS/RedHat 7.x OS). Consult the table below for information to support this decision.
Hypervisor SW
For a production environment suitable for hypervisor (virtual environment), the virtual appliance is supported on the following VMware hypervisors:
...
Five load configuration architecture setups that exist for the Standard Edition are available in:
- Appliance Mode (ISO file) - DPOD_CentOS_<version>.iso - can be downloaded from PPA. For example: DPOD_CentOS_1.0.811.50.iso
Non-Appliance Mode (Compressed Executable file) - DPOD_RedHat_<version>.cef - can be downloaded from PPA. For example: DPOD_RedHat_1.0.811.50.cef
Customers who expect to handle a load of over 200 TPS are required to complete a sizing process by opening a support ticket to IBM Support - L2.

The following table lists the typical usage characteristics for each setup edition, and the physical or virtual resources it requires.
Availability Available in Edition | Load Configuration Architecture | Goal | Recommended TPS Limits Limit (4) | Supports Virtual EnvEnvironment | Cores (1) | RAM (3) | Storage (GB) |
