Before you use the Security Intelligence features, review the resource limitations and ensure that your client environment meets the minimum requirements for the client system where the Security Intelligence user interface (UI) features are displayed.
Security Intelligence Resource Limits
The following table lists the two NSX Application Platform form factors that support Security Intelligence and the estimated maximum number of hosts, workloads, and traffic flows supported for each form factor. The Security Intelligence hosted on an Evaluation form factor is suitable for non-production environment only. The Security Intelligence hosted on an Advanced form factor is suitable for a production environment. For NSX Application Platform system requirements details, see the Deploying and Managing the VMware NSX Application Platform documentation delivered with the VMware NSX Documentation set.
Security Intelligence is supported only on NSX Manager 3.2 or later. Only one activated Security Intelligence feature is supported per NSX Manager Unified Appliance cluster.
For form factor maximum hosts and workloads, see the supported Configuration Limits.
The NSX Application Platform generates alarms when a scale-out operation is required due to resource usage exceeding the current capacity for the number of worker nodes that have been deployed. To resolve these alarms, scale out the NSX Application Platform by incrementally adding more worker nodes to your guest cluster.
Security Intelligence Web Client Memory, CPU, and Browser Requirements
For an optimal performance, your client system must have a minimum of two 1.4 GHz CPU cores and at least 16 GB of RAM.
