1. Introduction
Latitude NVMS 7.0 is a distributed software system. It provides various installation options to meet
with variable system considerations such as cost, topology and performance requirements. This
document provides information about the hardware requirements as well as related operating
systems.

2. Additional Information
For more information please contact DVTEL Sales Engineering at [email protected]

3. VMware Support
Latitude services can be installed on a virtual machine using VMware software. VMware ESXi 5.1
was officially tested and approved, but similar versions such VMware ESXi 4.x and vSphere are likely
to work as well. The system requirements from the virtual machine are similar to the system
requirements from a dedicated machine, but a certain performance overhead of the virtualization
layer (normally ranging between 15%-25%) must be taken into consideration when designing a
virtualized HW solution.

It is not recommended to use VM for the Directory service in case of demanding performance
requirements.

Playbacks Up to 15 playbacks Up to 30 playbacks and 60 Up to 40 playbacks and 80
and 30 Mbps Mbps Mbps

5.2.2 Mass Export Performance

The Mass Export feature allows users to export a large amount of data from the Archiver storage
to a different hard drive, normally faster than any other method of export. The target hard drive
can be a local drive, an external drive, direct attached storage, NAS or SAN (Tape drives are not
supported). Mass Export jobs are processed by the Archiver service.

Note: The following examples of Mass Export configurations only provide general
recommendations and estimated performance. Due to the many variable factors that constitute a
working system there is no way to guarantee performance or refer to minimum requirements.

Performance example #1:

Archiving Storage: 10TB RAID 5, 20 Disks, Direct Attached Storage

Export Storage: 10TB RAID 5, 20 Disks, Direct Attached Storage
