Sizing requirements for a Cortex XSOAR multi-tenant deployment depend
on the number of hosts and tenants deployed.
Exact sizing specifications vary
depending on several factors, including the number of incidents
ingested, the number of indicators in the system, playbook usage,
and so on.
Hardware Requirements
Each host and tenant is a standalone instance of the
Cortex XSOAR server and must meet the minimum sizing recommendations
for a production environment.

Example Sizing Comparison Between Elasticsearch and BoltDB
for Known Capacity
In this example where the number of incidents and commands
is known, the sizing requirements for Elasticsearch and BoltDB are
based on:
approximately 50 incidents per day, per tenant, with
each incident running 50 commands/scripts.
For engines:
The specifications for each engine
are 16 CPU and 32 GB RAM.
The engine is defined for each integration, including those
that fetch incidents.
Incidents were fetched using the Splunk integration and executed
using this playbook.
