Requirements
Our technical requirements to join the network as a supplier.
We have the following technical requirements to join our network as a supplier:
- For the deployment of server infrastructure on our platform, it is required to commit a minimum of 5 bare-metal hosts. These hosts should be of the same or similar specification.
- Each bare-metal host should be of the following minimum specifications:
- x86 based, Intel or AMD 16-core processor (or greater) with VT-x or AMD-V enabled
- 64GB Memory (or greater)
- 1 x 128GB SSD or larger (OS boot volume)
- At least 1 x 2TB SSD or larger (minimum 1 DWPD endurance rating) capacity disk. Multiple capacity disks are supported.
- 2 x 1GbE NICs (2 x 10GbE recommended)
- iDRAC/iLO/IPMI out-of-band management interface (for onboarding)
- A minimum block of 32 (/27) publicly routable IPv4 addresses that can be presented directly to the bare-metal hosts (without firewalling or NAT).
The quantity of available IP addresses determines the number of virtual machines that can be provisioned, so the more that are available, the better.
- VLAN (802.1q) capable switching infrastructure.
1 x VLAN (Management) presented to each of the host ports as 'tagged native'.- A /24 (or larger) IPv4 private IP address range allocated to this VLAN.
- A router on this VLAN to act as a default gateway (outbound NAT access to the internet).
- A jump server (Ubuntu Minimal install with no GUI) on this VLAN with inbound SSH access on TCP port 22. If a jump server is not possible, VPN access to this VLAN will suffice.
- A DHCP server running on this management VLAN with a small DHCP scope (~20 IPs) within the allocated private IP range.
- Hosts IPMI/OOB should be assigned IP addresses on this range.
1 x VLAN (Public) presented to each of the host ports as 'tagged'.- The Public IPv4 routed address range should be assigned to this VLAN with no NAT or firewalling in place.
1 x VLAN (Fabric transport) presented to each of the host ports as 'tagged'- A /24 (or larger) IPv4 private IP address range allocated to this VLAN.
- Public pricing and partner discounted pricing OR if you are providing existing capacity into the network, the pricing to make available to the marketplace.
