What type of storage is recommended for the database with Deep Security Manager?

The recommended type of storage for the database with Deep Security Manager is local or network-attached storage. This is because Deep Security Manager requires reliable, high-performance access to the database to manage security policies, events, and logging effectively.

Local or network-attached storage provides the necessary speed and accessibility to handle transactions and data retrieval, which are critical for the overall performance of the Deep Security Manager. This storage option also allows for efficient backups and management of the database, ensuring data integrity and availability.

Other types of storage, such as slow access storage, would not provide the performance needed for optimal operations. External USB storage might not offer the robustness or efficiency required for a production environment. Cloud-based storage, while valuable in many contexts, may introduce latency and connectivity issues that can hinder the immediate access necessary for real-time security management.
