Memory

Processor

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 2 cores - 4 recommended)

Hard disk space

For the Enterprise Reporter SQL Server, we recommend the following minimum hardware.

Memory

Processor

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 4cores)

Hard disk space

The Enterprise Reporter database is the storage location of all data collected for reporting. As such, the amount of hard disk space required is directly related to the amount of data being collected. The Database Size Estimator tool shipped with Enterprise Reporter can help determine how much space will be required.

Larger environments may have additional requirements for memory, processor, and hard disk space. There are many factors that can affect these requirements.

The following hardware is required for Enterprise Reporter 3.2 and higher.

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 2 cores)
