Provision A Vyopta Data Collector

A server must be provisioned on which the Vyopta Data Collector will be installed and configured. The Vyopta Data Collector is used to communicate with your video infrastructure and endpoints. The server can be either a virtual machine (VM) or physical appliance. The server will need network access to your video infrastructure and will always be running.

 

Please see the table below for the minimum server specifications:

CPU Dual CPUs
Memory 8GB RAM
Disk Space 80 GB (OS and Data)
Network 1 Gbps Nic
Operating System

Windows Server 2016+ OR

CentOS 7+ OR

RHEL 7+ OR

Ubuntu 20.04+

For Vyopta to execute, access is needed as follows

  1. From the Vyopta Data Collector to the Vyopta cloud application
  2. From your UC infrastructure, cloud providers, and endpoints to the Vyopta Data Collector
  3. Ensure the UC infrastructure and Endpoints are on supported versions. Limited support is available for older Infrastructure and Endpoint versions.

How you accomplish this step is dependent on your IT environment and infrastructure. Typically, it involves having the security / Admin team provide explicit access via your Firewall tools.

As a reminder, you must verify access at the Network level and at the OS level on the Server
