The OVA has no swap file the virtual machine be allocated sufficient memory for Untangle. To ease deployment, Untangle provides a Virtual Application for VMware (OVA) with pre-compiled VM tools from the download page. If you choose to install Untangle in a virtual environment, the support team will assist you with any issues related to the Untangle and its applications, but they will not help with virtualization set up/connectivity issues or issues caused by virtualization (high load, slow speeds, etc). In summary: We do not recommend virtualizing Untangle. It is a combination of traffic level, types of traffic, and user expectations. The exact threshold of where it will be unsuitable is hard to say. This traffic stacks up and presents itself to the Untangle VM as "bursty." This exacerbates any high load issues that may be present. At the same time, network traffic continues to arrive. While the VMware server is off processing other virtual machines, the Untangle server is unable to process traffic. VMware works by "time-slicing" the physical CPUs in the host system. That being said, we'd like to make you aware that systems like Untangle that require a lot of real time processing aren't great candidates for virtualization. We will certainly help you with your Untangle configuration, provided it's running on ESX. Unfortunately, our support staff doesn't have the expertise in VMware ESX to ensure that we can help you with installing and configuring VMware. Untangle wants you to have a successful deployment.

Untangle can be virtualized through a virtual appliance running on VMware ESX or ESXi.
