What sort of hardware do I need?
...
We have found that a DPOD all-in-one Virtual Machine will work well with about 5 monitored device appliances, with moderate traffic - ~ 100 TPS of DataPower Transactions.
For busier systems, we recommend using a dedicated physical server – a moderate server can usually serve up to 15-20 monitored devices.
Once we get to know your requirements, we will send you exact hardware specifications, customized to your needs. You can find more information about minimum hardware requirements at Product PageHardware and Software Requirements
