While deploying Microsoft Azure, consider the following recommendations for VM size.

Size	Maximum cached and temporary storage throughput: IOPS/Mbps (cache size in GB)	Maximum uncached disk throughput: IOPS/Mbps.	Maximum Network Interface Card (NIC)/Expected network bandwidth (Mbps)	Disk Type
Standard D Series (Dsv3-series)	16000/128	12800/192	4/4000	Premium SSD

• Use Premium SSD with maximum IOPS >= 12800.

• Use the Linux operating system. See the supported Linux OS section in Assumptions and Prerequisites in the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery Deployment Guide.

• The network bandwidth must be at least 2000 Mbps. Recommended is 4000 Mbps.

• The PTC Arbortext Content Delivery Viewers data directory must be on the local disk.

• The recommended throughput per disk is at least 250 MB/sec.
