Management capacity

FortiClient EMS is intended for enterprise use and has the capacity to manage a large number of endpoints.

Having at least 200 GB of disk space available is recommended. The following features require additional disk space: Multitenancy site: 1 GB per site Deployment package: 1.1 GB per deployment package

You can install EMS with default PostgreSQL (Postgres) shipped with EMS. When managing more than 50000 endpoints, install Postgres in a Docker container running on a different machine or install Postgres standalone on a different machine. Otherwise, you may experience database deadlocks.

The following topics include suggested host system hardware configurations for FortiClient EMS. The suggested configurations depend on the number of endpoints FortiClient EMS manages, whether Postgres and EMS are on the same or different servers, and whether there are FortiGates connected to EMS. The configurations in the following topics apply when a maximum of 200 multitenancy sites are configured. EMS supports 200 multitenancy sites. However, you must derive the actual number of supported sites for your configuration in conjunction with the management capacity tables. See the following for the suggested host system hardware configurations for these scenarios:

• Hardware configuration when EMS and Postgres run on same machine with no FortiGate connected
• Hardware configuration when EMS and Postgres run on different machines with no FortiGate connected
• Hardware configuration when there are FortiGates connected to the EMS
