A standalone configuration is a single server on which the NFA console and Harvester are installed.

CA tested the CA Network Flow Analysis solution with the following recommended hardware configuration. Your requirements may vary depending on the number of interfaces, applications, and users in your network.

Note: The recommended specifications described here apply to both physical and virtual deployments. The requirements represent an optimal configuration, such as the configuration of CA appliances that are currently shipping. You can run CA Network Flow Analysis successfully on configurations that do not meet these specifications, although your performance may vary.

The server has the following minimum requirements:

• 2.26-GHz quad-core processor
• 3 GB RAM
