Product Matrix and Requirements

The following table shows the hardware resource requirements for the SonicWall NSv virtual machines.

Product Models	NSv XS	NSv S	NSv M	NSv L
Maximum Cores1 If the actual number of cores allocated exceeds the number of cores defined in the previous table, extra cores are used as CPs.	1	2	4	8
Minimum Total Cores	1	2	4	8
Management Cores	1	1	1	1
Maximum Data Plane Cores	1	1	3	7
Minimum Data Plane Cores	1	1	1	1
Minimum Interface Count	2	2	4	8
Maximum Interface Count	8	8	8	8
Supported IP/Nodes	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited
Minimum Memory Required 2 Memory with Jumbo frame disabled.	2G	4G	8G	10G
Maximum Memory Required 3 Memory requirements are higher with Jumbo frame enabled.	4G	6G	10G	14G
Minimum Hard Disk/Storage	60G	60G	60G	60G

On NSv deployments with Jumbo Frame support enabled, the Minimum Memory requirements are higher. This increases TCP performance.

Memory Requirements on NSv with Jumbo Frames Enabled vs Disabled

NSv Model	Minimum Memory – Jumbo Frames Enabled	Minimum Memory – Jumbo Frames Disabled
NSv XS	4G	2G
NSv S	6G	4G
NSv M	10G	8G
NSv L	14G	10G
