When CA DataMinder Network runs on a Linux server, it requires a specific hardware configuration plus additional components. The hardware specification is designed to support CA DataMinder Network fully and perform the same functions as other CA DataMinder Network platforms.
The specified 2U chassis contains dual redundant hot-swap power supplies and a pair of RAID-1 hard disks that replicate each other for redundancy.
Dual x86 Xeon X5650 processors, each with six cores running at 2.66 GHz.
The memory requirement is at least 12 GB. For heavily loaded systems or systems that have two quad-port Napatech high speed network cards, at least 16 GB is recommended.
These processors provide enough processing power with CPU capacity allocated for network frame handling, protocol decode, and SSL decrypt and re-encrypt.
On-board gigabit network interfaces provide management capability, but additional network cards are necessary for network data capture. The required network card has been designed for high speed packet capture and generation.
If CA DataMinder Network is connected inline with the network but is powered off or not running, network traffic cannot flow unless you fit a separate hardware bypass unit. CA DataMinder Network communicates with the bypass unit to set up the software and instruct it to either pass network traffic through the Linux server for analysis or bypass it straight through.
CA DataMinder Network requires a Linux server from DELL or HP. Higher specification machines may work but have not been tested by CA Technologies.
The configuration includes:
HP ProLiant DL380 G7 X5650 2P 12GB-R P410i/1GB FBWC 8 SFF 750W RPS Perf IC Server (Code: 583966-421) includes:
Napatech Quad port Gigabit inline PCIe card NT4E-4T-INL (order code “801-0084-03-02 Inline”) and Memory module DDR2, 2GB. Order code “802-0034-00-01”.
Note: This inline card has four ports so it can monitor two independent network connections. An additional card and time sync cable are required to monitor four independent network connections.
(Optional) Napatech Time Sync cable TSC-20-A to link two cards. Order code “802-0018”.
