System Requirements

License Requirements

This feature is available with the core APM application; no specific license is required.

Additional Components Required

In addition to the basic APM system architecture, your system must also contain the following additional components:

Deploying Reports

After you have installed and configured the basic APM system architecture, configure Reports.

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware requirements outline the minimum hardware required for SQL Server Analysis Services support in the Metrics and Scorecards module in APM. These requirements account for the APM software only. Additional hardware may be required on a SQL Server Analysis Services machine where other components are installed. These requirements may not be sufficient, depending upon how your system is configured.

• Two Processor Cores, 2+ GHz

• 8 GB RAM

• 25 GB of available hard drive space

Software Requirements

The following software components are required on any machine that will serve as the SQL Server Analysis Services server.

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware requirements outline the minimum hardware required for any machine that will serve as the SQL Server Report Server. These requirements account for the APM software only. Additional hardware may be required on a SQL Server Report Server machine where other components are installed. These requirements may not be sufficient, depending upon how your system is configured.

• Two Processor Cores, 2+ GHz

• 8 GB RAM

• 25 GB of available hard drive space

If you are using a virtual machine (VM) to host your SQL Server Report Server, we recommend that:

• You increase the physical server CPU and hard drive space requirements by 20% to ensure that the application will perform equivalently in a virtualized environment.

• You double the physical server memory requirements.

• Each VM have its own dedicated processor cores and memory allocation to ensure appropriate performance.

APM supports Hyper-V and VMWare platforms.

These requirements may not be sufficient, depending on how your system is configured. Parameters that affect the hardware requirements include the number of users, modules purchased, database size, and other factors that can vary from one customer to another. For help refining your specific system requirements, consult a member of the APM Professional Services department.
