Requirements

The server you need, supported Linux distributions and the firewalls Delyan reads.

Delyan runs on a single Linux server inside your own network. Your team opens it from a web browser, so nothing needs to be installed on their computers, and nothing needs to reach the internet.

Server

Resource
Minimum
CPU
12 cores, x86_64, 2.0 GHz or faster
Memory
32 GB RAM
Storage
200 GB free, SSD recommended. Holds configurations, analysis history and reports.
Network
Reachable from your team's computers over the local network. No internet access needed.

These values suit typical deployments. If you manage many firewalls or very large configurations, talk to us and we will help you size the server.

Delyan runs on physical servers and on virtual machines.

Supported Linux distributions

The .run installer works on any distribution with glibc 2.28 or newer. Tested distributions:

Browser access

Any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari) on a computer that can reach the Delyan server works. There is no desktop app and no plugin.
