CPU Requirements
- Dedicated machine has to be allocated to process more than 200 logs per second.
- Dual core processors are needed to process more than 500 logs per second.
- Quadra core processors are needed to process more than 1000 logs second.
RAM Requirements
- Number of firewalls handled by the Firewall Analyzer will increase the requirement of the above RAM values. So it is better to have RAM value higher than the suggested value in case of having more than 5 firewalls.
Separate Installation
- Firewall Analyzer server and PostgreSQL database can be installed in separate machines, in case of higher log rate with low-end CPU machines.
Hard Disk Requirements for more months
- The above Hard Disk space requirement projected is for one month. If you need to archive the logs for more number of months, multiply the above requirements with the number of months based on your requirement.
Note: The Log Records Per Second is the total log
records received per second by Firewall Analyzer from all the configured
devices.
Firewall Analyzer Distributed Edition Admin Server is optimized for 1024x768 resolution and above.
