Question

Which Versa FleVNF build should I use for my hardware box?


Solution

Versa FlexVNF is supported on a variety of platforms ranging from Atom to Xeon-based processors. To take advantage of the new CPU instruction sets (for optimum performance), two different types of Versa FlexVNF builds are released

  • wsm: Use this build for Atom based CPU (Westmere)
  • non-wsm: Use this build for Xeon based CPU (Sandybridge)


The table below illustrates the builds to use on different hardware.
