The individual score for the 6240R processor is greater than the individual score for the 2697 processor, and therefore, is appropriate for use in an Avaya Oceana Breeze deployment.
Important:
A processor that meets 90% of the Avaya reference processor is suitable for deployment. It does not have to be equal or greater than the individual core score for the Avaya reference processor.
The following is a short list of suitable CPU types for physical hosts running the Avaya Oceana Breeze and Avaya Analytics CSP based virtual machines, currently in use by existing Avaya Oceana customers:
14 core [Dual CPU] Intel® Xeon® Gold 6132 @ 2.60GHz
16 core [Dual CPU] Intel® Xeon® Gold 5218 @ 2.30GHz
24 core [Dual CPU] Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8280 @ 2.70GHz
14 core [Dual CPU] Intel® Xeon® Gold 6132 @ 2.60GHz
16 core [Dual CPU] Intel® Xeon® Gold 6226R 2.9GHz
24 core [Dual CPU] Intel® Xeon® Gold 6240R @ 2.40GHz
Newer processors may not have a benchmark score rating and are not recommended for use in an Avaya Oceana and Analytics deployment.
High-specification processors with 32 or 48 cores or higher, and lower clock speeds ( < 2.3 GHz), may not meet the specification required for Avaya Oceana and Analytics deployments.
