HELLO, I hope someone can help
I am selling nessus solution to a customer for use with our NAC
controller.
This customer has 2000 users, like 1000 concurrent assessed systems
are expected, how many servers and what characteristics would be
perfect?
What would be the minimum server number and characteristics?
I read this but if its true (I guess) then I would need like 10
servers with 4gb ram, P4 4ghz!!!!:
""""" It is not easy to give a bandwith estimate for a Nessus run, you
will
probably need to make your own counts. However, assuming you test
65536 TCP ports. This will require at least a single packet per port
that is at least 40 bytes large. Add 14 bytes for the ethernet header
and you will send 65536 * (40 + 14) = 3670016 bytes. So for just
probing all TCP ports we may need a multitude of this as nmap will try
to resend the packets twice if no response is received.""""
""""> A very rough estimate is that a full scan for UDP, TCP and RPC as
well
as all NASL scripts may result in 8 to 32 MB wrth of traffic per
scanned host."""
So the questions are:
- What requirements for the servers (hardware) and how many
REAL MAXIMUM CONCURRENT HOSTS would it support?
Thanks very much
