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

  • 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

  • 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.

Software Requirements

Minimum

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64, with IIS installed)
  • MS SQL Server 2008 SP1, including Express edition
  • .NET Framework 4.0 or later (4.5 recommended for full IE10/IE11 support)
