Avaya Analytics virtual machine CPU requirements

Last Updated : Dec 01, 2020 |

In an Avaya Analytics™ solution, vCPU reservations are not required if the resources on the VMware host server are not overcommitted, and there is no contention for CPU resources.

  • For processor selection purposes, the reference CPU is the Dual (2 Socket) E5-2697 V3 @ 2.6GHz processor. This is a 2 CPU socket configuration. Refer to this reference dual processor benchmark score available at https://www.cpubenchmark.net.

  • Avaya Oceana® and Avaya Analytics™ VMware profiling uses a Dual 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2697 V3 2.60 GHz CPU as a reference CPU. This reference processor has 28 physical CPU cores. Each of the cores has an individual benchmark value that is one twenty-eighth of the overall benchmark score of the reference processor. You use this individual core benchmark value to compare the cores from different processors and to select suitable VMware host hardware for Avaya Oceana® and Avaya Analytics™.

  • The VMware CPU benchmark for the VMware physical host, which runs Avaya Oceana® and Avaya Analytics™, must be equal to or greater than 90% of the individual core benchmark and the reference dual processor.

  • When selecting the distribution of cores per socket for the CCM virtual machine, use the VMware-provided defaults. For example, for 8 vCPUs, VMware sets a default selection of 1 core per socket across 8 sockets.

Do the following to ensure that your proposed VMware host CPUs meet the Avaya Analytics™ minimum requirements:

  • Determine the individual core benchmark value for the reference CPU, Dual 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2697 V3 2.60GHz, by referring to the reference dual processor benchmark score available at https://www.cpubenchmark.net.

  • Reference individual core benchmark value = Reference CPU benchmark from the website / Number of cores in the reference CPU. This processor has a minimum thread score of 1997 approximately. This is the minimum thread score that all CPU’s used as hosts in an Avaya Oceana® and Avaya Analytics™ solution must be within 90%.

  • Determine the individual core benchmark value for your chosen VMware physical host server CPU. Individual core benchmark value = Your chosen physical host server CPU benchmark from the website / Number of cores in the host server CPU.
