Hardware Requirements

Hello,

I read hardware requirements and I wonder If I get it right ( Technical Specification)

CPU: Number of Concurrent Connections per core (con./core)

This tells us how many connections our computer’s processor (CPU) can handle at the same time per core:

  • For RDP/SSH, one CPU core can handle 300 connections at once.
  • For Web, one CPU core can handle 30 connections at once.

RAM: Amount of memory used per connection (MB/con.)

This tells us how much RAM is used for each connection:

  • For RDP/SSH, each connection uses 20 MB of RAM.
  • For Web, each connection uses 40 MB of RAM.

HDD: Disk space by time per connection (kB/s/con.)

This tells us how much disk space is used over time for each connection:

  • For RDP/SSH, each connection uses 3 kilobytes per second.
  • For Web, each connection uses 4 kilobytes per second.

===============================================

So hardware requirements—CPU, RAM, and HDD capacity—for the scenario with 500 RDP/SSH sessions, operating 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, and a 3-month retention period.

1. CPU Requirements

RDP/SSH:

  • Connections: 500
  • Connections per core: 300
  • Required cores: 500300=1.67≈2\frac{500}{300} = 1.67 \approx 2300500​=1.67≈2 cores

2. RAM Requirements

RDP/SSH:

  • Connections: 500
  • RAM per connection: 20 MB
  • Total RAM: 500×20=10000500 \times 20 = 10000500×20=10000 MB = 10 GB

3. HDD Capacity

  1. Determine the total data generated per second:
  • RDP/SSH: 500 connections * 3 kB/s = 1500 kB/s
  1. Convert kB/s to MB/s:
  • 1500 kB/s ÷ 1024 = 1.46 MB/s
  1. Calculate data generated per hour:
  • 1.46 MB/s * 60 seconds/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 5256 MB/hour ≈ 5.13 GB/hour
  1. Calculate data generated per day (8 hours):
  • 5.13 GB/hour * 8 hours/day = 41.04 GB/day
  1. Calculate data generated per week (5 days):
  • 41.04 GB/day * 5 days/week = 205.2 GB/week
  1. Calculate data generated per month:
  • Assuming 4 weeks per month: 205.2 GB/week * 4 weeks/month = 820.8 GB/month ≈ 0.80 TB/month
  1. Calculate total data for a 3-month retention period:
  • Total HDD capacity: 0.80 TB/month * 3 months = 2.4 TB

Summary

For 500 RDP/SSH sessions, operating 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, with a 3-month retention period, the hardware requirements are:

  • CPU: 2 cores
  • RAM: 10 GB
  • HDD Capacity: 2.4 TB
