Requirements

This page includes useful information on the supported Operating Systems as well as the hardware requirements that are needed to install and use VADAAR.

Operating Systems​

Supported distributions are:

  • Windows 10
  • CentOS 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Installation of VADAAR on any operating systems not listed above is not supported.

Web Browsers​

Supported browsers and versions:

BrowserVersionNotes
Chrome69+The recommended browser for VADAAR.
Edge79+-
Firefox62+In-browser live streaming not supported.

CPU​

CPU requirements are dependent on the expected workload. Your exact needs may be more, depending on your workload. Your workload is influenced by factors such as - but not limited to - the following:

  • How many active users.
  • How many VADAAR Sender or VADAAR Viewers are connected.
  • How many active recordings need to be supported.

The following is the recommended minimum CPU hardware guidance for a typical system:

  • 4 cores is the recommended minimum number of cores and supports up to 500 concurrent active users and VADAAR Senders/Viewers
  • 8 cores supports up to 1000 concurrent active users and VADAAR Senders/Viewers

Storage​

The necessary hard drive space largely depends on the number of recordings that you need to retain at any one point in time. As a result, the storage required can widely vary and is dependent on factors that may change from session to session. As a rule of thumb, you can try calculate estimates based on three primary factors:

  • Number of streams
  • Length of recording
  • Bitrate of the recording

Typically 1 stream = 1 video track + 1 audio track.

If you record 1 stream at the default quality (6 Mbps) for 1 hour, you will need 3 GB of storage space.

Using this information, we derive a formula of:

(# of streams) x (# hours) x (3 GB per stream per hour) = minimum storage required

Example

Say you’re conducting a training session that is 2 hours long and you know you want to record 8 streams. Plugging that into our storage calculator formula, we get:

(8 streams) x (2 hours) x (3 GB per stream per hour) = 16 GB minimum storage

Important

This is a minimum estimate. If you’re recording important sessions, always make sure to have extra storage available.

Memory​

Memory requirements are dependent on the expected workload. Your exact needs may be more, depending on your workload. Your workload is influenced by factors such as - but not limited to - the following:

  • How many active users.
  • How many VADAAR Sender or VADAAR Viewers are connected.
  • Hnd how many active recordings need to be supported.

The following is the recommended minimum Memory hardware guidance for a typical system:

  • 4 GB is the required minimum memory size and supports a 500 active users and connected VADAAR Senders/Viewers.
  • 8 GB can support up to 1000 active users and connected VADAAR Senders/Viewers.
