Master Server Requirements

General requirements

  • Operating systems:
    • Windows 2025 or 2022 64-bit | English edition and Locale.
    • Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and later (recommended), Debian 11 and later, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.x and later, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 SP3 and later.
  • Disk drives: at least two drives, one standard Operating System drive and an additional drive for the StorageGuard software.
  • Required software: Oracle client (if Oracle DB used), NotePad++ (or similar)
  • Type: Either a physical server or a virtual machine.
  • User account: local administrative rights.
  • Guidelines for optimal performance:
    • It is highly recommended to use internal SSD drives.
    • If an external database server is used, the master server and database servers* should be connected to the same switch.
    • Allocated resources should be dedicated to the StorageGuard servers.

Resource Requirements (App only)

Number of Scanned Systems vCPU** RAM (GB) Application Disk Drive Space*** (GB)
Up to 50 4 32 150
50 - 250 8 48 200
250 - 500 12 64 250
500 - 1000 16 96 300

It is also possible to use the same host for running both the StorageGuard application and the StorageGuard database.

Resource Requirements (App + Database)

** At least 2 CPU sockets.

*** Solid State Drive (SSD).

 

Database Requirements

The master server uses a database to store system configuration and data collected from various IT systems. The database can be installed locally on the master server or remotely on another host.

Supported DBMS: Postgres, Oracle

Postgres DB requirements

If you're planning to use a Postgres database for StorageGuard, take care to review the following requirements:

  • DBMS: PostgreSQL 15.1 and above.
  • Disk: Solid State Drives (SSD) are recommended for optimal performance.
  • Privileges: CONNECT + CREATE.
Number of Scanned Systems Resources DB size (GB)
Up to 50 CPU Cores: 4
RAM: 24 		120
50 - 250 CPU Cores: 8
RAM: 64 		240
250 - 500 CPU Cores: 16
MEM: 96 		360
500 - 1000 CPU Cores: 16
MEM: 128 		480
