Notes on Conductor VM configuration
Testing was performed on a Cisco UCS C220 M3S platform. Based on evidence from this testing we do not expect there to be any issues with other supported hardware options.

IOPS and Storage System Performance Requirements
This section provides the IOPS data for a TelePresence Conductor system under load.
Test specifications:
- Four individual TelePresence Conductor VMs running XC1.2
- Single C220 M3 TRC running ESXi 5.0.0 (update 1)
- Processor supporting AESNI feature
- 6GB of RAM per VM
- 132GB disk space per VM (for a 4GB virtual disk 1 and a 128GB virtual disk 2)
- R2XX-LBBU (Raid disk battery backup to enable cache)
- Four hard disks (450GB SAS 15K RPM 3.5in HDD/hot plug/C200 drive sled)
- PCI card Intel Quad port GbE Controller (E1G44ETG1P20)
