# ESXi

## General Requirements

For general requirements, see [Planning, General and Port Requirements](/v1/docs/planning-general-and-port-requirements-2#general-requirements).

## Specific Requirements

The portal installation requires VMware ESXi 6.7U1 or later. CTERA recommends using VMware ESXi 7.0 and later as VMware has announced that version 6.7U1 has reached the end of life.

The portal can be managed in VMware vCenter and in VMware vCloud Director.
