 ## Advantages of preconfigured appliances
 
 Preconfigured physical appliances have been validated for Defender for IoT OT system monitoring, and have the following advantages over installing your own software:

 > The performance, capacity, and activity of an OT/IoT network may vary depending on its size, capacity, protocols distribution, and overall activity. For deployments, it is important to factor in raw network speed, the size of the network to monitor, and application configuration. The selection of processors, memory, and network cards is heavily influenced by these deployment configurations. The amount of space needed on your disk will differ depending on how long you store data, and the amount and type of data you store. <br><br>
