How much RAM is typically required for a small implementation?

For a small implementation of CyberArk, a typical requirement is around 8 GB of RAM. This amount is generally sufficient to support the necessary backend processes while maintaining optimal performance for the applications involved.

In a small deployment, the resources are balanced to handle basic operations and user loads without over-provisioning, which can lead to unnecessary costs and complexity. The 8 GB RAM allows for the efficient operation of essential CyberArk components while providing some overhead for additional tasks or moderate usage scenarios.

In contrast, larger implementations or those expecting higher loads may require significantly more RAM to accommodate additional transactions, sessions, or components, which is why figures like 16 GB and 32 GB are more relevant for medium to large-scale environments. However, for the scope of a small implementation, 4 GB may not offer adequate performance, making 8 GB the recommended baseline.
