• 256 mb RAM
• One network card

For Microsoft Hyper-V, the appliance is imported with the VHD file.

Citrix Hypervisor

For Citrix Hypervisor, the appliance can be imported with either OVA, VMDK, or VHD file.

Deploying a Parallels HALB appliance

After you download a Parallels HALB appliance, you need to import it to a hypervisor running on a separate machine connected to the same local network as Parallels RAS. For the information on how to import a virtual appliance, please consult your hypervisor documentation.

Once the appliance is deployed, you can add it to a Parallels RAS Farm. Read on to learn how to do it.
