Virtual Iron leverages the latest technologies including hardware-assisted virtualization from AMD (AMD-V ) and Intel (Intel VT) to deliver enterprise-class performance and reliability. How to check if your hardware is virtualization ready. The table below lists the servers, storage and devices that are currently supported. This is updated frequently as the manufacturers release new hardware and we certify the application on them. Please check back from time to time to see the most updated list. Additional hardware may be in use by other Virtual Iron users. Legend: denotes Virtual Iron Certified -- These devices are tested and supported for the designated version(s) of Virtual Iron software. denotes Virtual Iron Tested -- These devices are tested by a partner, or on partner equipment, for the designated version(s) of Virtual Iron software.

The number of nodes you can manage is processor-dependent, and varies with the license you have purchased. Virtual Iron requires a single management server linked to one or more physical servers, or nodes, on an Ethernet network. Virtual Iron's management server, Virtualization Manager, communicates with each node over a dedicated management network. Nodes managed in this framework may also access SAN and network resources via one or more public networks.
Management Server, Minimum Requirements The management node hosts the Virtual Iron VI-Center. 1 CPU ( or its equivalent or higher) 2 GB RAM 30 GB hard drive (7,200 RPM or higher, 10,000 RPM recommended) Ethernet ports: 2 OSs supported: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 32-bit and 64-bit (note: 64-bit RHEL-4 requires the compact-arch-support package) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Server 2003 SP2 32-bit Windows Server 2008 32-bit CentOS 5 Node Minimum Requirements 2 GB RAM 2 Ethernet ports Your virtualized nodes must have Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V ) hardware assist (How to check if your hardware is virtualization ready). For a list of supported hardware, please view our hardware compatibility requirements. If you do not have a server with hardware-assisted virtualization, please contact your reseller or hardware provider.
