Argus Software Server POC Requirements

Argus Software is an enterprise solution where agents installed on client computers communicate with a server-side API. Agents autonomously retrieve and apply required plugins from the repository based on requests. This document outlines the infrastructure needed for a successful POC (Proof of Concept) deployment.

Hardware Requirements (POC - Minimum)

During the POC phase, all services can be hosted on a single server or virtual machine.

Processor
2 GHz / 8 Cores
Memory
16 GB RAM
Disk Space
250 GB

Software Stack

OS: Windows Server 2019+
DB: MS SQL Server 2022+
Runtime: .NET 9.0 Packages
Web Server: IIS (Internet Info Services)
Middleware: Redis, Elasticsearch
Messaging: OpenFire

Network & Connectivity

Standard Protocol

The API port must be open for bi-directional communication between client agents and the Argus server. Data transmission is optimized: active window metadata is sent in XML format (~1KB per file), ensuring minimal network overhead and suitability for cloud/hybrid deployments.

Source Target Ports Description
Client Agent Argus Server (?.?.?.?) 80, 443, 5222 Includes Dashboard, API, Repository, and Messaging services.

Scalability Matrix

Resource requirements scale based on the concurrent agent population.

Agent Count CPU Cores RAM Size Environment
Up to 10 8 Cores 16 GB POC / Trial
Up to 1,000 32 Cores 32 GB Enterprise S
1,000 - 10,000 64 Cores 64 GB Enterprise L
