CodeSentry: On-Premise System Requirements & Supported File Formats

Overview

CodeSentry is built as a SaaS hosted solution but can be installed locally within your own domain if required. The on-premise installation uses Replicated and consequently the operating system and hardware requirements for CodeSentry are closely related to those for Replicated as described below. 

This information is applicable to CodeSentry version 4.2 and above.

Platform Support

It is important to note that CodeSentry can only be installed on Linux systems.

Hardware

Hardware requirements are specific to the workload running in the cluster but the following guidelines are recommended to support bare cluster installations.

Primary:

  • Memory - recommended: 132GB, minimum: 100GB
  • CPU - Intel Xeon® Platinum 8175M processors with Advanced Vector Extension (AVX-512) instruction set (or better).
    • Cores - recommended: 46 virtual cores, minimum: 38 virtual cores
  • Disk - High-IOPS, low latency disks are required (SSD, non-NFS) - 4.5TB

Node:

  • Memory - recommended: 96GB, minimum: 32GB
  • CPU - recommended 16 virtual cores, minimum: 8 virtual cores
  • Disk - 1.5TB

Performance

Typical performance, noted as number of targets scanned per hour, is calculated by scanning a variety of typical software packages. CodeSentry is capable of the following performance, depending upon hardware settings.

Hardware settings Performance
Minimum

up to 2500 targets per hour

Recommended

up to 4600 targets per hour
