1 The amount of RAM required depends on the number of MOVEit servers and their estimated number of monthly transactions. The Ipswitch Analytics Server installer tunes the Ipswitch Analytics PostgreSQL database automatically based on the RAM detected during installation.
2 Recommended RAM improves user experience and query performance.
3 The amount of hard drive space required depends on the number of MOVEit servers and their estimated number of monthly transactions. Higher numbers of transactions and/or tasks might require a larger hard drive. A transaction includes uploads, downloads, and Central steps. If you are not sure of your MOVEit activity level, see Estimating Monthly Transactions. Recommended: 1 or 2 months after you install the Ipswitch Analytics server, check your system to verify that you have enough hard drive space to retain all of your data.

The Ipswitch Analytics Server must be installed on a dedicated physical or virtual machine. Do not install the Ipswitch Analytics Server on a machine that hosts a MOVEit server or a MOVEit database.
