OS for Layered Images
You need a Unidesk-supported operating system to import into an OS Layer. This OS will be used to build your Layered Images.
350-500 GB Storage Space
The Unidesk ELM uses local storage for temporary files and finalized layers. The more layers you create, the more space you need. However, if you run low on space, you can expand the size of the current disk, or add other disks to the ELM when needed.
40-100 GB network file share (SMB/NFS)
The file share connected to the ELM is used for upgrades, Elastic Layers, and cross-platform publishing. This space is easy to expand, if needed.
Be sure the Hyper-V VM where you are installing the ELM meets the following prerequisites.
