Minimum System Requirements – Certified Hardware & Virtualization

Certified Server Hardware

PLEASE NOTE: To qualify as a PGP® certified server the server MUST be one of the vendor models listed below AND be configured EXACTLY per the component list below. These configurations have been tested and successfully deployed by PGP Corporation customers globally. We do, however, add to this list of supported configurations periodically. If you have other hardware on which you wish to run the PGP Universal Server, please contact PGP Sales to determine if PGP Universal will run on your desired server configuration.

The following systems are certified for use as the hardware for PGP Universal Server:

  1. Dell PowerEdge 2950 - Dual Quad-Core Intel XEON L5420 @ 2.50 GHz - 8 GB RAM - DVD-ROM Four 146 GB 15K SAS HD - PERC6/i RAID, Redundant Power Supply, Medium/large environment production unit, cluster member (See the Additional Information in the Release Notes for more information on using PGP Universal Server with this system.)

2.   Note: This model requires an external network card to be compatible with PGP Universal Server. The default Broadcom NetExtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet controller does not work with PGP Universal Server and is not supported. The following external network card is supported: Intel 10/100/1000 Dual/Quad port - Intel 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet controller Intel LAN Card: D33682

  1. Dell PowerEdge SC1435 - 2x Quad-Core AMD Opteron 2347HE @ 1.9 GHz - 4 GB RAM - 2 x 250 GB SATA, Small/medium environment production unit
  2. IBM System x3650 - Quad-Core Intel XEON E5345 - 8 GB RAM - 3 x 73 GB 15K RPM 3.5" Hot-Swap SAS - SeveRAID-8k, Medium/large environment production unit, cluster member
  3. IBM BladeCenter HS21 - 2x Dual Core Intel Xeon 5130 - 4 GB RAM - 2 x 146 GB 10K RPM SAS RAID LSI Logic 1064E, Small/medium environment production unit (See the Additional Information section, Installing on IBM BladeCenter HS21, for more information on using PGP Universal Server with this system.)
  4. SunFire4150 - Intel XEON E5410 2.3 GHz Quad-Core - 8 GB RAM - DVD-ROM, 3 x 146 GB 10K 2.5" SAS Adaptec AAC-RAID, Medium/large environment production unit, cluster member
  5. HP Proliant DL120 G5 - Dual Core Intel Xeon - 3065 2.33 GHz - 2 x 250 GB SATA, Small/medium environment production unit

8.   Note: This model requires an external network card to be compatible with PGP Universal Server. The default Broadcom NC105i Gigabit adapter does not work with PGP Universal Server and is not supported. The following external network card is supported: HP NC360T PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter - Intel 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet controller

  1. HP Proliant DL360 G5 - Quad Core Intel Xeon - 8 GB RAM - DVD-ROM, 3 x 146 GB 10K RPM 2.5" Hot Swap SAS disk - Smart Array P400i RAID, Medium/large environment production unit, cluster member

Certified Virtualization

  • VMWare ESX 3.0.2, 3.5, ESXi 3.5.0 - Supported platform, non-hardware. Sufficient processing power equivalent to a 3 GHz Intel Xeon must be dedicated to the PGP Universal Server VM.

    VMWare tools must be installed and configured inside the PGP Universal Server operating system.  More information on VMware ESX Server hardware compatibility is available in the "Systems Compatibility Guide for ESX Server 3.x" from VMware [external link to VMware.com]

Disk space requirements:

Small/medium environment - 50 GB minimum allocated to the VMWare instance; 4 GB RAM dedicated to the VMWare instance.
Medium/large environment - 100 GB minimum allocated to the VMWare instance; 8 GB RAM dedicated to the VMWare instance.

Other Configurations

Changing the sizes of hard disks within the same type of drive (for example, 36 GB SCSI to 73 GB SCSI), increasing memory configurations, and increasing processor speeds within the same type and family qualifies as the same system for Support purposes.
