Storage space requirements
Total storage space required is the sum of space taken by job run database files, MC backups, logs (some static value as they rotate) and events.
All measurements are approximate for average load on the MC.
Job runs database requirement: around 4MB per every 100 job runs.
Each backup archive takes as much space as job runs database multiplied by number of backups (see here for more details about backups).
MC logs rotate as the log file reaches 100 Mb, the log is zipped. No more than 10 log files are kept (can be changed in MC configuration file).
Below are the measurements for storage space taken by events.
(These are clean tests when MC is only busy with writing events - no reading events, no other heavy processes, etc. Also, events filters are not applied. Real life results may vary.
When measuring system load, in tiers marked as 1->n or n->1, MC agent is used as this “1” agent. Hardware: Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 28 GB DDR3 RAM)

Minimum hardware requirements
Based on number of files
| Tier | CPU | RAM* |
| < 100,000 files | single core, ARM, x86 or higher | 512 MB |
| < 1,000,000 files | 2 core, ARM, x86 or higher | 2 GB |
| > 1,000,000 files | 4 core, ARM, x86 or higher | 4 GB minimum. 2 KB per file with an option to limit memory usage by time window based file monitor |
Based on expected speed of transfer
For expected speed of 5Gbps, this is recommended hardware:
| CPU | Xeon E5 2600 v4 series or i7-7000 series, with 4 cores or more. Minimal frequency 2GHz. |
| Memory | 16GB or more (adds to files' based requirements above) Minimal memory bandwidth throughput of 10GBps is required. |
| NIC | For extension cards, extension slot must support full 4 lines for PCIe 2.0. Link aggregation shall be avoided. For NUMA machines with some CPU slots empty, network card PCIe slot should connect to occupied CPU slot. |
| OS | For Windows OS, only Windows Server can provide such expected speed, Windows server 2019. Other platforms shall meet hardware requirements above. |
Based on expected speed of cloud storage
| EC2 agent, <1 Gbit | t3.xlarge instance and below |
| EC2 agent, >1 Gbit | m5d.12xlarge instance and greater |
| Azure agent, <1 Gbit | D4s v3 instance and below |
| Azure agent, >1 Gbit | D14 v2 instance and greater |
| Google cloud, >2 Gbit | n1- standard-64 and greater |
*Agent memory consumption
Connect Agents consume approximately 2 KB of RAM per file (example: for 4.5 Million files Connect can consume up to 9 GB of RAM). Using time window based file monitor, you can limit memory usage.
Memory consumption
Memory consumption may double when syncing either NTFS or Posix permissions depending on the number ACLs applied per file.Storage space requirements
Total storage space required is the sum of space taken by jobs database files, backups created after update, logs (some static value as they rotate) and events.
All measurements are approximate for average load on the MC.
Jobs database requirement: around 2Kb per file and each subfolder (or 4 KB of file permissions are synced), in each of Synchronization job. For example, two sync jobs, one has 1mln and the other - 3 mln files, will take up to 8 Gb of storage , or up to 16 Gb if file permissions are synced.
On each update, the Agent creates backup folder with database files.
Debug logs rotate as the log file reaches 1Gb, the log is zipped. No more than 100 log files are kept.

Based on expected speed of transfer
Note: with indirect connection through a proxy speed deterioration of up to 10% may be observed compared to direct tunnel between Agents.
