System requirements
Below are the required hardware and software specifications for the smooth functioning of DataSecurity Plus.
Hardware requirements
Basic requirements
Component | Minimum | Recommended |
Processor | 2.4GHz | 3GHz |
Core | 6 | 8 or more |
RAM | 12GB | 16GB |
Disk space | 200GB* | 1TB* |
Network speed | 100Mbps | 1Gbps |
*Some variations can be expected in these values depending on the environment and event details.
Advanced requirements
The above recommended basic requirements might need to be supplemented with additional resources in some cases. Some of these are described below.
Case | Additional requirement |
If you have a high event inflow from your file storage systems or your endpoints, you might need additional disk space. | Disk space: To store reports and alerts for 1 million file events, you will need around 1.5GB of disk space and around 20MB of archive space. |
If you have a huge number or volume of files and folders in disks in which you want to analyze file metadata and assess security permissions, you might need additional disk space. | Disk space: As a general rule of thumb, allot around 2.5GB of disk space for every 10 million files or folders. |
If you have configured data discovery and sensitive data reporting functions, in addition to the recommended basic requirements, you will need to add: |
|
Note: Some variation can be expected in these values, depending on the environment and event details.
Software requirements
Browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome (recommended), and Microsoft Edge.
Operating system: Windows 7 and above; Windows Server 2008 R2 and above.
Preferred screen resolution: 1280 x 800 pixels or higher
