Requirements

Note: Requirements for RAM have increased in Ipswitch Analytics Version 2.1. If you are updating from a previous version, you must manually increase your system's RAM before you run the update program.


Ipswitch Analytics Server Requirements
System size (determined by number of Agents. One agent per MOVEit server/SQL database)	Small	Medium	Large
# of Analytics Agents	5 or fewer	6-10	11-20
Minimum RAM	8 GB	16 GB	32 GB
Hard disk drive 3	1 TB	2 TB	4 TB
CPU	4 Core 2.2 GHz	4 Core 2.2 GHz	8 Core 2.2 GHz
Network Interface Card	Gigabit Ethernet. The Ipswitch Analytics Server machine must have network access to the Ipswitch Analytics Agent.
Windows Server OS	64-bit 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 running on an administrator account
Virtual Machine	VMWare ESX 5, Hyper-V 2008, 2012
Disk Subsystem Performance	Minimum of 200 average IOPS

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 (in the Administrator Guide). 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. Suggested: To improve overall data loading and reporting performance, consider using SSD drives instead of spinning drives.

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.

Ipswitch Analytics Agent Requirements

1 GB of free disk space

512 MB of free RAM

Network connectivity with the MOVEit database and the Ipswitch Analytics Server. The Agent machine does not need network connectivity with the MOVEit server.

Network connectivity for MS Exchange support. MS Exchange support requires an SSL connection between the Exchange server and the Ipswitch Analytics server.

One or more working MOVEit systems, each with a current license:

MOVEit File Transfer Server (DMZ) 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, MOVEit Transfer 2017 (9.0)
MOVEit File Transfer (DMZ) High Availability and Disaster Recovery 8.1, 8.2, 8.3. MOVEit Transfer 2017 (9.0)
MOVEit Central 8.0, 8.1, 9.0, MOVEit Automation 2017.
MOVEit Central Failover 8.0, 8.1, 9.0.

Supported MOVEit databases:

MySQL 5.1.x - 5.5 (local only)

You can install only one Agent per machine (physical or virtual machine) and one Agent per SQL instance. Recommended: Install the Agent on the same machine that hosts the MOVEit database.

(optional) Virtual machines running on:

VMware ESX (32-bit and 64-bit guest servers)
Microsoft Hyper-V (32-bit and 64-bit guest servers)
Hardware and software requirements for the virtual machine are the same.

Supported Web Browsers

Chrome 47.0.x and 48.0.x (Windows only)
