Hardware System Requirements

The various Policy Management applications (for example, MPE and MRA devices) run on a variety of hardware platforms:

Oracle Server X5-2 and Oracle X5-2 rack-mount servers (RMS)
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Enterprise ProLiant DL360/Gen8 RMS
HP Enterprise ProLiant BL460c Gen8 blade server

Note: Depending on the hardware and the selected enclosure type, the system also requires the appropriate switches and connectors.

In addition to the selected enclosure and hardware for the Policy Management system, a separate network management server on an HP ProLiant DL380, provides tools and utilities to manage multiple c-Class enclosures and blade software, as well as networking equipment (enclosure switches) for the c-Class environment.

On all the hardware platforms Policy Management applications can execute as virtual machines within a network functions virtualization (NFV) infrastructure.
