- 20GB Available storage (with data warehouse disabled)
Recommended hardware specification - up to 250 devices
- Modern dual-core processor
- 1GB RAM
- 80GB Available storage (with RAID 1, 0+1 or 10)
Recommended hardware specification - distributed monitoring
Master Server:
- Two or more CPUs (preferably multi-core)
- 2GB RAM
- 250GB Available storage (with hardware RAID controller)
Slave Server:
- One or more CPUs (preferably multi-core)
- 1GB RAM
- 20GB Available storage
Database Server:
- Two or more CPUs (preferably multi-core)
- 2-4GB RAM
- 250GB Available storage (with hardware RAID controller)
Recommended hardware specification - very large system
