Introduction

There have been many queries on the resource requirements for deploying AppQoE, ThousandEyes, and UTD (Unified Threat Defense) on a single box. This article will call out the minimum requirements to deploy these features together and the platforms that support them. However, the below information is only a guidance and not a catch-all document and has to be reviewed with individual feature reference documentation and also resource requirements for other features that will be deployed apart from the above features. Please reach out to respective product owners to confirm the exact resource requirement for all the features that will be configured on the platform. 

Platforms - Features and Resources

ISR 1000 (8GB DRAM SKUs) 

These platforms support both TCP Optimization and UTD features. However, both features cannot be deployed together and only one feature is supported at any given time.  ISR1000 with 8GB DRAM are ISR1111X, ISR1121X, ISR1126X, ISR1127X, ISR1161X, ISR1131X
