Our SIEM Sizing Calculator can help you figure out how much log data your SIEM solution needs to handle. It’s useful when you’re planning to deploy or scale your SIEM solution.
Why use a SIEM Sizing Calculator?
There are several benefits of knowing how much data you need to ingest into your SIEM solution:
- Get the size right: Don’t overpay for unused resources or under-provision so you end up with a choked solution.
- Get an accurate cost estimate: Build a better business case for management to justify the budget. You can also use our Pricing Calculator to get an even better estimate.
- Vendor comparison: Compare resource requirements and total cost.
How we size up your requirements
The usual metrics to measure when sizing a SIEM are:
- Events per Second (EPS)
- and Gigabytes per Day (GB/day) indicating the volume of data processed in your network.
Estimating the EPS and GB/day accurately can often be a challenge when implementing a SIEM because data volume and frequency vary so much. Our calculation is based on the number of nodes (number of devices/endpoints) in your network. This includes servers, routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices and applications.
How will Logpoint help simplify this?
Use the SIEM Sizing Calculator and get an estimate of the EPS and GB/day generated. This enables you to choose the optimal configuration for your SIEM solution.
The cost of a Logpoint SIEM solution is based on the nodes sending logs (data) to our SIEM and not the volume of data. This method and model facilitate your use of Logpoint SIEM without having to consider increasing data volumes, and enable you to predict the cost of your SIEM solution accurately.
Once generated, the SIEM Sizing Calculator will show the total number of nodes included in your calculation and allow you to request a quote for a Logpoint SIEM solution at the push of a button, and you can generate a PDF report of your calculation.
