What EVE-NG Pro is

EVE-NG Professional (EVE-NG Pro) is the commercial, feature-rich edition of the Emulated Virtual Environment Next Generation (EVE‑NG) platform. It provides an integrated, web-based environment for building, running, and testing multi-vendor network topologies using virtualized network OS images (routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, hosts) and other appliances. EVE‑NG Pro is intended for network engineers, architects, training providers, and labs that need advanced functionality, scale, and collaboration beyond the community (free) edition.

Multi-User Collaboration: Enables group work on the same topology, making it a preferred choice for training centers and teams. eve ng pro full

Hardware and sizing guidance (rules of thumb)

• Small lab (up to ~10 medium nodes): 8–16 vCPUs, 32–64 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD.
• Medium lab (10–50 nodes, mix of routers and appliances): 16–48 vCPUs, 64–256 GB RAM, 1–2 TB NVMe/SSD.
• Large/enterprise lab (>50 nodes or heavy NFV appliances): 48+ vCPUs, 256+ GB RAM, multiple high‑IOPS NVMe disks and 10GbE networking.
• Storage: Use SSD/NVMe for images and snapshots; separate datastore for pcaps and backups. Plan for IOPS and capacity for many concurrent VMs.
• Networking: 1–10 GbE for lab traffic; separate management network; consider bridging to physical networks for integration.
