Central Service - Requirements

MOVEit Central runs best on the following minimum hardware and the following operating system and database requirements:

• Hardware: A server with a 2 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB SATA or SAS hard drive and a 100/1000 MB ethernet interface (for TCP/IP traffic). A faster processor, faster hard drives and more memory are recommended for busy sites.
• Operating system:
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit English and German)
  • Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Support for virtual servers running on VMware ESX (64-bit) and Microsoft Hyper-V 1.0 (64-bit)
• Database:
  • MySQL (5.0)
  • MicroSoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise/Standard/Express
  • MicroSoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise/Standard/Express
  • MicroSoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise/Standard (Not Data Center)
• The MOVEit Central setup program also installs MOVEit Central Admin on the server. If you decide later to administer MOVEit Central remotely, you can use the standalone MOVEit Central Admin installation program to set up the client on each of your remote desktops. In addition to the operating systems shown above, you can also install MOVEit Central Admin on a Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise.
• If you plan on using MOVEit Central Admin remotely, a server certificate is recommended though not required. The MOVEit Central installation package will automatically install a self-signed certificate to use for this purpose. If you would like to use your own SSL certificate instead, you must install it (usually though the Microsoft "Certificates" Management Console), select it with the MOVEit Central Configuration utility and restart the MOVEit Central service.
• An evaluation or production license key. (e.g., "C-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE") Older installations may use a 15-digit license key (e.g., "12345-12345-12345"); MOVEit Central still supports these as well.

The latest production recommendations can be found in the online Support Knowledge Base.

Optional: Supported Antivirus Engine

MOVEit Central will automatically detect if a virus is detected by Symantec AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan, or Trend Micro OfficeScan. It will take action to delete or ignore the infected files and will log the appropriate message. Installing one of these antivirus packages is not required, but it is recommended if you would like MOVEit Central to use its free, integrated antivirus facility.
