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.
