Smart-1 7000-UL
Highest-capacity model in the Smart-1 7000 line, with up to 75,000 logs/s and 8 TB NVMe SSDs.
Overview
The Smart-1 7000-UL offers the highest log ingestion rate and SSD capacity in the family. Its role is to support management and investigation in large environments, bringing policies, logs and events together. It uses 8 TB NVMe SSDs, with six drives initially and an option for twelve. A twelve-drive RAID 50 array provides 69.8 TB of usable capacity; 96 TB is the nominal sum of the drives. RAM ranges from 256 to 384 GB. The project must account for expansion licences and domain architecture before using maximum gateway limits. Selection criteria: Consider this model when the project requires greater ingestion and retention than the 7000-XL, with 8 TB SSDs per drive. Size for 34.9 TB usable capacity with six SSDs in RAID 5 or 69.8 TB with twelve in RAID 50. Distinguish the 250/500 Base/Plus gateways from expanded limits: the maximums require additional licences.
