Hardware Configuration
Snare Central is capable of running on a variety of hardware configurations, from laptops, right up to Linux partitions on mainframe systems and VMs. Hardware requirements are significantly dependent on the volume of audit received by Snare Central, and the type and number of audit objectives defined. As an appliance-style solution, expanding storage post-install is supported, however, It is recommended that storage allocation is sized with a view towards long term requirements.
However, in order for Snare Central to be in a supported configuration, the following requirements MUST be followed. There should be no deviations from the specifications listed below.
Snare Central - Minimum Hardware Requirements
- A 64-bit x86 compatible CPU (eg: Pentium Core I5, AMD64), preferably with two cores or more.
- One or more 500GB hard disks or larger. These should be recognized by an operating system as either IDE, SATA ,Fiber Channel SAN or SCSI. Hardware RAID may be used, as long as the RAID controller is capable of either emulating normal IDE/SATA/SCSI protocols, or has a supported driver available in Snare.
- An IDE, SATA or USB DVD writer supported by Snare. Most modern CD/DVD writers are ATAPI compatible, and will therefore work with Snare Central. Some brands of USB Writers may be supported. Please consult the general compatibility notes below for more details.
- 2 Gb RAM minimum, 4GB recommended or more.
- A 100 megabit, or (preferably) a 1000 megabit (1 Gigabit) network card.
Keyboard, mouse and monitor as appropriate.
Snare Central- Larger Configurations
Moderate environment up to 2,000 systems (<= 5,000 EPS)
- A 64-bit x86 compatible CPU (eg: Pentium Core I7, Xeon), preferably with four (4) cores (8 virtual cpu's) or more.
- One or more 1TB hard disks or larger. These should be recognized by an operating system as either IDE, SATA, Fiber Channel SAN or SCSI. Hardware RAID is recommended to be used, as long as the RAID controller is capable of either emulating normal IDE/SATA/SCSI protocols, or has a supported driver available in Snare.
- An IDE, SATA or USB DVD writer supported by Snare. Most modern CD/DVD writers are ATAPI compatible, and will therefore work with Snare Central. Some brands of USB Writers may be supported. Please consult the general compatibility notes below for more details.
- 8 Gb RAM minimum, 16 GB RAM or more.
- A 100 megabit, or (preferably) a 1000 megabit (1 Gigabit) network card.
Keyboard, mouse and monitor as appropriate.
For large to very large environments please contact your Snare Sales representative.
Snare Central - AMC Configurations
Where Snare Central is used just for Agent Management then the disk space requirements can be reduced as the system is not collecting any logs
- A 64-bit x86 compatible CPU (eg: Pentium Core I5, AMD64), preferably with two cores or more.
- 350GB hard disk or larger. This should be recognized by an operating system as one single disk, and may be either IDE, SATA ,Fiber Channel SAN or SCSI. Hardware RAID may be used, as long as the RAID controller is capable of either emulating normal IDE/SATA/SCSI protocols, or has a supported driver available in Snare.
- An IDE, SATA or USB DVD writer supported by Snare. Most modern CD/DVD writers are ATAPI compatible, and will therefore work with Snare Central. Some brands of USB Writers may be supported. Please consult the general compatibility notes below for more details.
- 4GB recommended or more.
- A 100 megabit, or (preferably) a 1000 megabit (1 Gigabit) network card.
Keyboard, mouse and monitor as appropriate.
