Hardware requirements are divided into two groups.
- Server hardware
- Client hardware
Server hardware
The required server hardware depends on:
- Amount of variables
- Number of connections
- Number of alarms and events
- Complexity of alarms and events
- Amount of schedules
- Amount of scripts
- Complexity of the scripts
- Amount of clients being served
The following examples provide a reference for small, medium, and large applications. Test the application on the intended hardware long enough to confirm the required sizing.
| Category | Small application | Medium application | Large application |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 2 to 4 Core 1.8 GHz | 4 to 8 Core 2.5 GHz | 8 to 16 Core 3.5 GHz |
| RAM | 4 to 8 GB DDR3 | 8 to 16 GB DDR4 | 16 to 32 GB DDR4 |
| Install drive | 32 GB+ | 32 GB+ | 32 GB+ |
| Historian drive | 120 to 500 GB SSD | 500 GB to 1 TB SSD | 1 TB to 5 TB SSD |
| Operating System | Windows 10 64 Bit Windows 11 64 Bit Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025 64 Bit+ | Windows 10 64 Bit Windows 11 64 Bit Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025 64 Bit+ | Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025 64 Bit+ |

Use SSD drives for both the install drive and the historian drive. Spinning disks are not recommended.
Client hardware
Our clients are web clients that can run on thin client computers. This means the client can run on minimum hardware.
The required client hardware depends on:
- How many variables are shown on one page
- The complexity of the expressions
- How many pages are open at the same time, for example in a multi-monitor setup
Tablets, mobile phones, mini PCs or NUCs, and thin client PCs are suitable options.
If pages are very large, with more than 2000 objects on one page, use a small computer such as an Intel i3 or Intel i5 with 8 GB RAM.
