Server Configuration
Basic Server Requirements
The Endpoint Encryption Communications Server process runs under Microsoft Windows 2000/2003.
Currently some customers report that it works well under Windows 2008, however McAfee has not officially
certified this. Please see the McAfee KnowledgeBase article KB53698 for current information on supported
environments.
The performance required depends primarily upon the number of concurrent connections an enterprise can
experience and the number of concurrent object creation events. Real world implementations suggest the
following minimum and recommended configurations.
Note the term “Object Directory” used throughout this guide refers to the database or store for users,
endpoints and other settings, and files for Endpoint Encryption management.
Recommended Server Hardware
20 ‐ 2000 users/systems
Minimum single server configuration
• Dedicated Server
• 2 GHz Dual core processor
• 2 GB Ram
• 4 GB free hard disk, RAID1
• 100 Mb Network
Virtual or Shared Server can be used for low numbers.
Please see Virtual Server section in this guide. Virtual
hardware has to be of higher specification if
resources are shared. See Page 11.
2000 ‐ 5000 users/systems
Recommended single server configuration
• Dedicated Server
• 2.4 GHz 2 Dual or 1 Quad core processor
• 4 GB Ram
• 4 GB free hard disk, RAID5
• 100 Mb Network
5000 ‐ 50,000 users/systems
Recommended single server configuration
• Dedicated Server
• 3 GHz 2 Dual / 1 Quad core processor
• 4 GB RAM
• RAID5 10 K RPM Direct ‐ attached Storage, 100 GB
• Gigabit or 3x 100 Mb Network
50,000 ‐ 150,000 users/systems
Recommended single server configuration
• Dedicated Server
• 3.0 GHz or higher 2 Quad / 4 Dual core (8 cores).
• 6 GB RAM
• RAID5 Direct ‐ attached Storage. 15 K RPM. 250 GB
• Gigabit or 4x 100Mb Network
Mentioned RAID refers to hardware RAID, not software. Enable caching on RAID if possible, but ensure
suitable UPS power is available.
Migrating an environment between hardware platforms is simple so it is possible to start with a minimal
configuration and later extend it to a higher configuration in accordance with performance monitoring and
capacity planning.
NOTE : These may vary depending on other configuration settings.
