When you deploy the vCenter Server Appliance, you can select to deploy an appliance that is suitable for the size of your vSphere environment. The option that you select determine the number of CPUs and the amount of memory that the appliance will have.<\/p>\n

The hardware requirements such as number of CPUs and memory depend on the size of your vSphere inventory.<\/p>\n

Hardware Requirements for VMware vCenter Server Appliance<\/strong><\/p>\n

!!! remark. the setup of the appliance looks at the number of cores in your CPU.\u00a0 so for example if you have a 6 core CPU then you have 12 logical cores but you wont be able to choose for a medium environment or larger.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
