[Spectra Analyze](/SpectraAnalyze/) Platform Requirements are the minimum recommended specifications where file size must be under 400MB total and average size for all files under 250k for A1000-1K. A1000-E-30K supports file sizes up to 2GB. For security hardening guidance applicable to deployment environments, refer to [NIST SP 800-53](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-53/rev-5/final) security controls.
