| Agents | Per month, screen resolution 1024x768 | Per month, screen resolution 1980x1080 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9.3 GB | 34.6 GB |
| 50 | 46.5 GB | 1730 GB, i.e. 1.73 TB |
| 100 | 930 GB | 3460 GB, i.e. 3.46 TB |
| 200 | 1860 GB, i.e. 1.86 TB | 6920 GB, i.e. 6.92 TB |
| … | … | … |
Note
You should keep in mind that two or more screens on a workstataion will increase the occupied space twice or even higher, considering the amount of monitors being recorded
Note
The function works only when the server is available
Note
To calculate the precise amount of disk space considering all the modules you should summarize the disk space occupied by all the functions and the function “videocontrol”
Required channel width: an agent generates 100-200 kbytes of network traffic, if modules “Desktop video” and “Remote desktop” are enabled - up to 2 mbits (for each user if we consider terminal servers).
