Planning network resources

To decide on factors like disk space allocation, number of servers, and network distribution, start by answering these questions:

• What volume of daily data is expected in number of transactions?
• What is the user count?
• Are geographically distributed offices being covered?
• What is the user directory structure (Active Directory, Domino), and what are the IP addresses of the LDAP servers?
• Which ports and port numbers are used?

Allocating disk space

Forcepoint DLP allocates a default amount of disk space for archiving fingerprint and forensic repositories. Administrators can modify the allocation. The tables below indicate the default and maximum disk space for archives, the forensics repository, endpoint client incidents, log files, and fingerprint storage.

Modify disk space settings after installation using the Forcepoint Security Manager. Instructions can be found in the Forcepoint DLP Administrator Help.
