Request OVA Image Files
To request access to the OVA image files, visit the Virtual Images section in the Exabeam Community.
Note
Please review all specifications for your platform and ensure you have sufficient resources to deploy Exabeam images. Additionally, please ensure you have valid Exabeam licenses for the product(s) you will implement.
Exabeam Platform Specification Table for Virtual Platforms
These are the minimum operating specifications needed to run your Exabeam product. We do not support hybrid deployments (cross environment deployments). All nodes must be in the same subnet.
Be aware that vCPU is not the same as the number of CPUs or Cores for the processor. A vCPU is typically equal to the number of threads in the processor.
The tables below details the CPU and memory allocation required for Exabeam products to operate optimally, with the following provisioned:
The host is not shared with any other product or resource
For OVA deployments, additional RAM and vCPUs allocated to the hypervisor (i.e. not allocated to any other VM).
We recommend additional 4 core to any VM for the OS/hypervisor
We recommend reserving a minimum 10 GB of RAM for the hypervisor, exclusively and not shared with any VM
Required configurations for storage:
HDDs and SSDs must be local or connected through an iSCSI or Fiber Channel backplane of 10 GB or more
Do not use NFS or SAN
Do not use VMFS with extents spread across multiple drives and managed by ESX
The SSD drive files MUST be put on an SSD backed data store, otherwise performance will be impacted
Disk storage is required to be configured with thick provisioning (eager zeroed recommended)
Network card must support paravirtualization (VMXNet v.3 adapters)

(* If you have an existing Data Lake deployment of 20 nodes or below, we will continue to support the older sizing for up to i32 only. Please contact the Exabeam Technical Account Manager for your team for any questions. )
For clusters with 21 nodes or more, an additional three management nodes are required for cluster management operations, health monitoring and other critical functions.
