Minimum system requirements

Caution

FortiAnalyzer-VM has a minimum requirement of 4 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 500 GB of disk storage. For v7.2.2 and later, the minimum requirement for RAM is increased to 16 GB.

The following table lists the minimum system requirements for your VM hardware, based on your VM's analytic sustained rate.

You can calculate the collector sustained rate by multiplying the analytic sustained rate by 1.5.

This table does not take into account other hardware specifications, such as bus speed, CPU model, or storage type.
