Appendix: Sizing
Before you start your setup, you need to determine the storage requirements.
The following calculation can be used to determine the total storage value:
|
|
By default, the storage size set for each customer is 100 MB. |
Total storage size = number of customers * storage size set for each customer.
For example:
Number of customers = 5
When you substitute these values into the calculation:
Total storage size = 5 * 100 = 500 MB.
The system requires other overheads as well, which may take 15 GB of storage. As a minimum, 40 GB of storage is required.
|
|
In FortiAnalyzer mode, all the logs are stored on the FortiAnalyzer side, and the storage required for each customer on FortiPortal is the total storage size defined. |
