Planning deployment—estimating data storage for file analysis throughput

FAI-3500F uses 2 X 3 8TB SSD in RAID1 and comes with the option to purchase additional SSD HDDs.

FAI-VM comes with 4 different size disk images.

Model	Default data storage (GB)	Max. process rate* (files/hour)	Storage retention (approx. days / months / year)
FAI-3500F	3517	100,000	540 days / 18 months / 1.5 years
FAI-VM	1024	25,000	530 days / 17 months / 1.5 years
FAI-VM	2048	25,000	1250 days / 41 months / 3.4 years
FAI-VM	4096	25,000	2690 days / 89 months / 7.4 years
FAI-VM	8192	25,000	5400 days / 180 months / 14.8 years

* The max. process rate depends on the average size and composition of file types. NDR disk storage depends on a few factors such as:

• Size of data disk allocated in VM
• Number of disks inserted into hardware model
• Throughput of network e.g. with sniffer.
• Number of anomalies vs not anomaly traffic.
