This section describes the minimum system requirements for deploying Seqrite Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) in a standalone server configuration.
These requirements are designed to ensure optimal performance, stability, and reliability across organizations of different sizes.
Note Actual requirements may vary depending on operating system, third‑party tools, and services running on the same server. Customers should evaluate overall workload and provision resources accordingly.
Recommended Hardware Configuration – Ubuntu 24.04.3
| Endpoints | CPU | RAM (GB) | Storage (GB) | Signed Kernel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 5,000 | ≥ 8 cores @ 2.6 GHz | ≥ 12 | ≥ 200 | 6.14 to 7.0 |
| 5001 to 10,000 | ≥ 16 cores @ 2.6 GHz | ≥ 18 | ≥ 250 | 6.14 to 7.0 |
| 10,001 to 15,000 | ≥ 24 cores @ 2.6 GHz | ≥ 24 | ≥ 350 | 6.14 to 7.0 |
| 15,001 to 20,000 | ≥ 32 cores @ 2.6 GHz | ≥ 30 | ≥ 450 | 6.14 to 7.0 |
| 20,001 to 25,000 | ≥ 40 cores @ 2.6 GHz | ≥ 36 | ≥ 550 | 6.14 to 7.0 |
Note:
- Additional system resources may be required when FAM and DLP licenses (or add-ons) are enabled.
- The above mentioned configurations are for Ubuntu Server in non-GUI mode.
- AVX support is needed to install EPP 8.x on Linux/Windows machines.
Server Scalability and Load Disclaimer
The hardware configurations listed above represent baseline requirements based on deployment scale and the number of protected endpoints. These recommendations align with industry‑standard sizing practices and are intended for average workload conditions.
Actual requirements may vary depending on:
- Number of protected endpoints
- Event generation rate and traffic patterns
- Enabling FAM and/or DLP may increase server load and traffic; high-load environments may require approximately 4 additional CPU cores and 4 GB RAM or more, depending on workload, to maintain performance and stability
- Data retention policies and compliance requirements
For large‑scale or enterprise deployments, Seqrite strongly recommends conducting a formal sizing and capacity assessment to determine infrastructure requirements accurately.
Control Center Hardware Requirements
For a multi-site setup, ensure that the Control Center supporting up to 50 Site Servers meets the following minimum system requirements:
| Requirement | Minimum Specification |
|---|---|
| Available Disk Space | 250 GB or above |
| RAM | 16 GB or above |
| Processor | 8 Core (x86-64), 2.60 GHz or above |
Additional Performance Optimization
Perform the following optimizations to improve report processing, database performance, and overall system responsiveness.
Create MongoDB Indexes
- Download the mongoIndex.js file from the build download page.
- Copy the file to any local folder on the EPP server.
- Temporarily disable MongoDB authentication.
- Save the file and restart the MongoDB service.
- Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
- Navigate to the following directory:
$EPP_HOME\mongodb\bin - Run the following command:
mongosh < path-to-mongoIndex.js >\mongoIndex.js
- Verify that the required indexes are created successfully in the database.
- Re-enable MongoDB authentication.
