Requirements for Virtual Remote collector

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

We are planning to install Remote log collectors in our RSA Security Analytics architecture.

What is the recommended hardware configuration for Virtual log collectors?

Not sure if this will help you or not...not sure what you have installed already, please see attached PDF.

Adam,

Thanks for the reply. However, I was looking for the recommended hardware configuration for VLC.

Hi,

I think what you are looking for is specific to the VLC.  The SKU for this (software only) is:

SA-VLC-SW

There is no cost for this module.

We have tested the VLC up to 5K EPS.  Here are the recommended VM specs for varying EPS rates.

EPS	Cores	Memory (GB)	Disk (GB)
1k	2	2	150
2.5k	2	2.5	150
5k	3	3	150

Regards,

Dave

It seems there are some changes in 10.3. Below is an extract from 10.3 documentation.

A Remote Collector (RC) is a Log Collector service running on a stand-alone Virtual Machine or Microsoft Windows 2008 host.

Now this also supports being installed on Windows server.

Can some confirm on the Virtualization platforms being supported now?
