1.2. Hardware requirements

In order to install the software correctly, your computer must meet the minimum hardware requirements described here. If your computer does not meet these requirements, it may not be possible to install the product correctly.

Range

Hardware requirement

CPU

Usual standard, multicore processor

The more users access at the same time, the more cores (<25 = 8 cores and above 16)

RAM

Recommendation min. 4GB (for a larger number of catalogs definitely more)

Hard disk space

5 GB HDD (per installed platform)

Data standards & catalogs (incl. index)

On average, the index takes up approx. 1/5, although the proportion varies greatly because the index size depends on several factors such as component type or number of translation languages.

[Note]Note

Less relevant for eCATALOGsolutions-QA

The storage space required depends very much on the individual requirements. The following information should make it easier to estimate this.

  • Currently available catalogs: > 1000

  • Annual growth in catalogs: approx. 40

  • If all catalogs are installed, 40 GB of storage space is required for the index and 200 GB for the catalogs.

  • If catalogs are located on the network drive, the index should still be cached locally. This means that additional space is required for the cache. The space required for the cache corresponds to the size of the index.

Graphics card

min. 64 MB; OpenGL-capable; hardware 3D support recommended, Full HD resolution

[Note]Note

A resolution of at least 1280x1024 is required.
