What are the system requirements?

The system requirements for an on-premise deployment vary depending on the number of assets in the environment, the number of scans carried out, and the frequency of the scans.

Below, you can find the different sizes that we recommend depending on the installation and the environment where it is deployed. 

Supported versions:

  • Core engine: VMWare ESXi 7. X
  • Scanner Appliance: VMWare, Hyper-V, and Xen
