Technical Requirements
Minimum Requirements (on premise)
- Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa")
- 8 vCPUs (Preferably 16 vCPUs)
- 16 GB RAM (Preferably 32GB)
- 32 GB SSD Disk Space
Note: More than 25000 scans/day requires a custom multi-server setup is necessary and needs to be scoped out with the engineering team.
Due to the low resource requirements and cloud-native capability, OPSWAT Filescan does not require nested VMs and can be deployed and operate with its proprietary virtualization technology directly on the host system.
Example Hardware Setup
- Intel Xeon-E 2136 (12M Cache, 3.30 GHz)
- RAM 32GB DDR4 ECC 2666 MHz
- 2x SSD NVMe 256GB RAID
Note: this is an example system that would allow processing 50K files/day with a retention period of 10 days.
Throughput / Hardware Requirements
The following table lists explanatory system specs with a retention period of 10 days:
| Scans Per Day | Required System CPUs | Required System RAM | Required Storage per Retention Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1000 | 4 | 4 GB | 256 GB |
| 2500 | 4 | 4 GB | 256 GB |
| 5000 | 4 | 4 GB | 256 GB |
| 10000 | 8 | 8 GB | 256 GB |
| 25000 | 16 | 16 GB | 256 GB |
| 50000 | 28 | 28 GB | 512 GB |
Minimum Cloud Requirements (AWS)
- 5000 scans/day: t3a.2xlarge
- 10000 scans/day: c4.4xlarge
- 25000 scans/day: c4.8xlarge
