Minimum Hardware Requirements

4 CPU Cores

>16 GB RAM

>300 GB Hard drive space

Software Requirements

Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 or later (see Deprecation Notice below)

Sizing

Database sizing requirements vary depending on the volume of data.
As a guide an operation that has an annual output of 100,000 Work Orders, 150,000 Samples, 500,000 Tests/Inspections and 200,000 Test Reports will grow approximately 40 GB per annum. Almost 50% of this data is stored binary images (PDFs) of Test Reports. If these have been published to Construction Hive they can be purged from the database.
