Recommended system configurations
Depending on the size of your infrastructure, namely number of client machines that will be managed by ESET PROTECT Virtual Appliance, take into account recommended and minimal virtual machine configuration.
The default ESET PROTECT Virtual Appliance configuration settings:
|
CentOS |
Rocky Linux |
|---|---|---|
CPU cores |
4 |
6 |
RAM |
4 GB |
8 GB |
Disk |
64 GB |
128 GB |
|
The new ESET PROTECT Virtual Appliance based on Rocky Linux 9 requires a CPU that supports x86-64-v2. You can verify your CPU compatibility with these steps. |
The following sizing applies to ESET PROTECT Server running on a Virtual Appliance:
Number of clients |
Up to 1,000 |
1,000–5,000 |
|---|---|---|
Number of CPU cores |
4 |
8 |
RAM size |
4 GB |
8 GB |
Disk IOPS* |
500 |
1,000 |
Agent connection interval (during deployment phase) |
60 seconds |
5 minutes |
Agent connection interval (after deployment, during standard usage) |
10 minutes |
10 minutes |
Other recommendations |
Thick provisioned disk, manually change configuration to increase memory size for MySQL. |
Proportionally increase available resources for your ESET PROTECT VA to prevent performance issues. |
* IOPS (total I/O operations per second)—We recommend having approximately 0.2 IOPS per connected client, but no less than 500.
|
If you are planning to have more than 5,000 managed clients, we highly recommend that you install ESET PROTECT Server/MDM on a physical machine running Microsoft Windows Server with Microsoft SQL Server. |
