Hi, We have been deploying CSP-C For use on our customer networks using the VM based installation. However considering that a customer didn't have a virtual infrastructure, what are the alternate options for deploying this?
I can see the ISO and guides saying its supported as a hardware offering, however it doesn't state whether this hardware is purchased from Cisco or can be your own build.
If this is possible on our own hardware, can anyone provide a guide with minimum requirements etc. I have found documentation stating that for SNTC its Cisco provided servers, which I have used in the past, but doesn't mention for PSS.
Help would be appreciated as I need to provide an alternate to our customers.

Hello Gary,
Indeed - there are two images available whenever the customer would like to use his own hardware.
OVA - is for the virtual ESXi environment, while ISO for a native installation for example on Cisco UCS-C, HP or any other third party server.
For the either OVA or ISO installation these are the minimum requirements:
The images are available under this link: https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=283107976&flowid=&softwareid=284971103&release=SNTC%203.x&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
If the customer decides to purchase pre-configured (pre-installed) hardware CSPC from Cisco, this needs to be booked separately, and the SKU is:
In case of hardware collector, we advise to book the additional service lines for this hardware:

Kind regards,

Thanks Rafal, Are there any compatibility guides/notes? We may build a machine here to ship out to customers but don't have any hardware in mind just yet.
