Hardware Requirements
Optimally, base the minimum configuration of your system on expected peak load. Typically a
configuration running all elements of a system on a single server spends 95% of its time idle and 5%
of its time trying to keep pace with the resource demands. If you expect your system to perform an
operation that creates, modifies, or deletes rules on tens or hundreds of thousands of business
objects, your real system needs could be higher.
Hardware requirements vary depending on whether you have a single server installation or a
distributed server installation.
Screen resolution must equal or exceed 1280 x 1024 pixels. Your screen must be at least 1250 pixels
wide. Even in these circumstances, some cosmetic aberrations may occur (duplicate forms for one
example). You can safely ignore such aberrations.
Virtualization OMNM may be installed on virtual servers. Supported hypervisors include: VMware,
HyperV, and KVM.
Note: System requirements for virtual machines are the same as physical machines,
except the hardware must have the capacity for its own requirements and the virtual
machine.
Protocols • TCP/IP
• SNMP
• HTTP/HTTPS
