FREE DISK SPACE:

• Approximately 200 MB of available hard-disk space for the recommended installation

• Approximately 10 GB of available hard-disk space for scan logs on Agent Server

• Approximately 200 GB of available hard-disk space on the system hosting the database

Additional Recommended Hardware Requirements

The following recommendations will increase performance and are highly recommended for scanning large web applications and sites:

• Install the Agents on a separate server from the Database Server.

• The Control Center (Web Application) performs better when installed on the Database Server.

• The Agents require significant processing from the database server while running scan jobs and report packs. Configure Database Server as a server class machine, with multiple processors and a SCSI disk array configured as RAID(0) for fast disk I/0. 4 GB of RAM recommended if Database and Agents share one machine.
