This page outlines the hardware and software requirements for your server instance to run BSNEE. It also outlines how to meet the server software requirements.

Hardware Requirements

Minimum

  • 1.4 GHz or faster Dual Core processor
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 6GB free hard disk space
  • Network connection
Note
titleNote
  • A minimum hardware configuration should be used for testing/evaluation purposes only.
  • Device logs should be disabled with a minimum hardware configuration.
  • A maximum of 50 networked devices is recommended with this configuration
  • 2.2 GHz or faster Quad Core processor (Intel Xeon is preferred)
  • 16GB of RAM
  • 50GB free hard disk space for Temporary Storage
  • 1TB additional free hard disk space for Persistent Storage (high-performance RAID configuration is preferred)
  • 1 Gbps network connection
Note
titleNote
  • This hardware configuration is recommended for production use.
  • A maximum of 500 networked devices is recommended with this configuration. If you want to increase the maximum amount of networked devices, note the following:
    • A more powerful CPU is required for operations stemming from the SQL server, Device Handlers node, and the Scheduler service.
    • More RAM is required for intensive processing of device logs (when all log types are enabled for every device), the SQL server, and the Scheduler service.
    • More free hard disk space is required for Persistent Storage and device log reports. Intensive operations may also be bottlenecked by the speed of the HDD.

Warning
titleImportant

If your BSNEE Web Services node is using a self-signed certificate, you will need to switch to a certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA) before upgrading BSNEE. An example of a free CA service can be found here.

Recommended

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (with IIS installed)
  • MS SQL Server 2014 (including Express Edition) or 2016
  • .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later
  • X.509 certificate issued for the BSNEE Web Services node
Tip
titleTip

If you're upgrading your SQL server instance, you can try the SQL Server Developer Edition, which provides SQL Server Enterprise functionality and is free for non-production use. Make sure to consider the license agreement before using it.
