Hardware and software requirements

This article describes hardware requirements of single-node deployment scheme and multi-node deployment scheme, software requirements of Open Single Management Platform, hardware and software requirements of Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit and OSMP components.

Common requirements and considerations

100% vCPU allocation is required if you use virtualization.

For networks that exceed 40,000 devices, use secondary Administration Servers.

Make sure that the DNS server is available on the network.

Single-node deployment cannot be upgraded to multi-node deployment. Multi-node installation should be preferred If network growth is expected.

Effective device and EPS calculation

Hardware requirements may vary depending on the operating system running on endpoint devices. Use the following formula to estimate effective devices in your network:

<number of devices> = <Windows endpoints> + 3* <Linux and macOS endpoints> + 20 * <servers>

An effective device is expected to contribute 0.5 EPS (events per second) with default settings. Total EPS is calculated using the following formula:

<total EPS> = <EPS from effective devices> + <third-party EPS>

You can convert total EPS to effective devices using the following formula:

<total effective devices> = <total EPS> / 0.5

Single-node deployment: hardware requirements

Single-node deployment requires less resources (see the table below), but the following considerations should be taken into account:

Multi-node deployment: hardware requirements

Multi-node deployment requires more resources (see the table below). For this scheme, the following considerations should be taken into account:

Open Single Management Platform: Software requirements

Software requirements and supported systems and platforms
