## Hardware Requirements

Logpoint SIEM requires appropriately sized hardware to ensure reliable performance and scalability. The exact specifications depend on your log volume, as higher data ingestion demands more processing power, memory, and storage. To help you plan accurately, you can use our [sizing calculator](https://siemsizingcalculator.logpoint.com/) to estimate the daily data volume ingested from your infrastructure into Logpoint SIEM.&#x20;

The minimum hardware requirements for a standard deployment are:

| CPU    | Quad-core |
| ------ | --------- |
| Memory | 16 GB     |
| Disk   | 150 GB    |

## Open Firewall Ports

To enable successful communication within your environment, the necessary firewall ports must be opened for the services in use. Fetchers with configurable ports are not included, and depending on your infrastructure, additional ports may be required.

{% hint style="warning" %}
UEBA requires other ports. Go to [Enabling UEBA](https://docs.logpoint.com/docs/ueba-manual/en/latest/Configuration/Overview.html) for details.
