System Requirements
To ensure optimal installation and performance of UTMStack, adhere to the following system specifications.
1. Data Storage Overview
Before diving in, be aware that UTMStack approaches data retention in two distinct methods:
- Hot Log Storage: Refers to data which isn’t archived and can be accessed anytime for immediate analysis.
- Cold Storage: Represents archived data that necessitates restoration prior to access.
- Data Source: Denotes any individual origin of logs, such as devices, agents, or SaaS integrations.
Assumption: 50 data sources (devices) generate approximately 100 GB of data per month.
2. UTMStack Server Specifications
The UTMStack server is responsible for managing and orchestrating platform operations. Below are the recommended hardware specifications for hot log storage:
| Data Sources (Approx. Monthly Data) | Cores | RAM | Disk Space |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 (100 GB) | 8 | 16 GB | 150 GB |
| 120 (250 GB) | 16 | 32 GB | 250 GB |
| 240 (500 GB) | 32 | 64 GB | 450 GB |
Scalability: These tiers can be adjusted based on the number of devices and desired log retention period.
3. Architecture Requirements
To run UTMStack optimally, your hardware must meet the following minimum specifications:
CPU Requirements
- Processor: Must support x86-64 v2 architecture.
- Processor: Must support x86-64 v2 architecture.
CPU Requirements for Virtualized Environments
UTMStack supports the following CPU architectures in QEMU/KVM environments:
- x86-64-v2 (QEMU): Optimized 64-bit architecture with second-gen instruction set.
- x86-64-v2-AES (QEMU): Adds AES-NI encryption acceleration for improved security.
- x86-64-v4 (QEMU): Advanced fourth-generation architecture with enhanced performance.
- Host (KVM): Uses the host processor’s features directly for maximum performance.
4. Integration and Logging Volume Considerations
Integration Requirements
- Each integration requires at least 1GB of reserved space to maintain efficient system operation.
Log Volume Considerations
- If logs exceed 1GB within a 10-minute interval, immediate contact with the support team is required to maintain stability and performance.
5. Supported Operating Systems
UTMStack is officially supported on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
For installation instructions, refer to the UTMStack Installation Guide
