Architecture Overview
The following diagram illustrates key system, network and security requirements for running DMC.
System, Network and Security Requirements
Server Requirements (Jump Box)
DMC can be executed from any Windows machine that has network line of sight to the target systems. Typically, DMC is deployed from a designated jump box within the customer’s network. This system must adhere to the following specifications:
Hardware Requirements
| Component | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows Server 2016 or later |
| CPU | 4 vCPUs |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| Storage | 25 GB free space per 4,000 systems scanned (for temporary data storage). |
| Network | Line-of-sight access to target systems |
| Display | Minimum supported resolution is 800×600 |
General Security Notes
⚠️
Security Note:
- DMC is specifically designed to allow a customer Administrator to securely utilise their admin credentials for a one-time operation. This approach eliminates the necessity of creating a bespoke account, making it the recommended method for such tasks.
- All credentials are stored in memory only and never persist beyond execution.
- Credentials requirements are tailored for one-time use, allowing administrators to securely employ their personal credentials.
