Each FTK 3 server can support one concurrent user session. Each user session
requires 64 GB of server RAM (48 GB for Oracle and 16 GB for FTK), and
1000+ I/O per second for the file store plus 600+ I/O per second for the database
(minimum configuration).
FTK 3 Lab Edition
In the FTK 3 Lab Edition configuration, the user will connect to a server hosting
AccessData Lab and the centralized case database. Multiple users can access the
same case concurrently, and run different analyses at the same time as well.
Processing is handled using a distributed processing model.
