# Pricing and Management of OVHcloud NSX Edges

## Objective

This documentation aims to explain the configuration options for NSX Edges and the steps to manage them within a VMware on OVHcloud environment. It also outlines technical limitations and provides guidance on how to adapt these configurations to specific needs.


***

### OVHcloud Control Panel Access

- **Direct link:** [VMware vSphere](https://manager.eu.ovhcloud.com/#/dedicated/dedicated_cloud)
- **Navigation path:** <code className="action">Hosted Private Cloud</code> > <code className="action">Managed VMware vSphere</code> > Select your vSphere service

## Requirements

- Access to the <ManagerLink to="/">OVHcloud Control Panel</ManagerLink> to manage your NSX Edges.
- Use of **VMware NSX 4.1.1** to access customization options.

## General Overview

### Default Configuration

When creating a VMware environment, OVHcloud automatically provides:

- **2 Medium NSX Edges**:
  - 4 vCPU.
  - 8 GB RAM.

This default configuration meets most standard requirements for connectivity and network security.

### Customization

You can adapt your infrastructure to meet your specific needs:

1. **NSX Edge Sizes**:
   - Medium: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM.
   - Large: 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM.
   - XL: 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM.
2. **Number of NSX Edges**:
   - Minimum: 2 (default configuration).
   - Maximum: Up to **10 NSX Edges per cluster**.

### Limitations

- **1 NSX Edge cluster per vDC**.
- **10 NSX Edges maximum per cluster** (Broadcom/VMware limitation).
- NSX version 4.0.1 does not support:
  - Ordering new vDCs under NSX 4.1.1.
  - Modifying or adding NSX Edges.
