The hardware requirements for a server with the Sandbox component depend on the type and volume of processed traffic and on the permissible object scan time.
By default, the permissible object scan time is 1 hour. To reduce this time, you need a more powerful server or more servers with the Sandbox component.
It is recommended to calculate the configuration of the Sandbox component as follows:
To receive sufficient statistical data, the program must process traffic of the organization for a week.
If multiple virtual machines are started simultaneously, the speed of processing objects from the queue is increased.
Hardware requirements for the server hosting the Sandbox component
The calculation of the number of servers with the Sandbox component depending on the load is shown in the table below.

One Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux program generates the same load as three Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows programs.
The estimation of the number of Sandbox components is listed for servers with the following configuration:
On the virtual machine:
When installing the Sandbox component on a VMware ESXi virtual machine, you must set the limit for simultaneously running virtual machines to 12.
The performance of 3 or 4 virtual machines of the Sandbox component is identical to one Sandbox component on a physical server.
