Google Cloud Platform Installation Overview
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) instances have the same functionality as the NetWitness hardware and virtual hosts. NetWitness recommends that you perform the following tasks when you set up your GCP environment.
Before you can deploy NetWitness in GCP, you need to:
-
Review the recommended compute and memory specifications needed for each NetWitness instance.
- Get familiar with the NetWitness Storage Guide to understand the types of drives and volumes needed to support NetWitness instances. For more information, see Storage Guide for NetWitness® Platform.
- Make sure that you have a NetWitness Throughput license.
