Virtual environments and virtual machines are supported for all platforms, including: VMWare ESX, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Docker, WPAR, vWPAR, zones, etc.
SFTPPlus does not include cluster aware logic, but it provides generic functionalities for implementing clustering.
We have customers deploying SFTPPlus resilience configuration on MSCS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX clusters.
On MSCS, SFTPPlus can be deployed as a Generic Service Resource or a Generic Script Resource.
On Microsoft Windows, the OpenSSL library is distributed together with the installation package and there are no 3rd party dependencies.
On Unix/Linux operating systems the product uses the OpenSSL library available on the OS. As such we recommend that a recent version of the OpenSSL library is installed to benefit from the latest security fixes.
| CPU: | The server will run on any CPU released in the last decade. Since many of the encryption / decryption operations are CPU-intensive operations, using a modern system designed for server usage is recommended. |
|---|---|
| Memory: | Between 30 - 100 MB of RAM, depending on CPU architecture. Memory usage will increase with the number of concurrent connections. No more than 1 MB will be used for a new connection. |
| Disk usage: | Installation size: 200 MB. |
| Network usage: | The server will try to use all available network bandwidth. This is normal for Ethernet/IP networks. The available bandwidth will be shared by all connections. Many of the cryptographic algorithms require a low network latency and a network delay not larger than 60 seconds. |
