System Requirements

Mentioned below are the minimum requirements to run AssetExplorer. You may require more RAM space and high-end processors depending upon the support load, simultaneous access load, and other applications' load installed on the same server.

No of Nodes Hard Disk Type RAM Processor OS
250-2000 500GB SDD 8GB

1.7GHz to 2.4GHz

10MB to 12MB Cache

4 cores to 8 cores

or Any entry-level server grade processor

E.g

Intel Xeon Scalable -Bronze/Silver

Intel Xeon E Family

Windows Server OS (2019, 2022)

Linux

RedHat Linux (RHEL): 7 and above

Ubuntu: 20 and above

Cent OS: 8 and above

Debian: 10 and above

2000-10000 1TB - SDD 16GB

2.4GHz to 3.0GHz

12MB to 20MB Cache

6 cores to 8 cores

or equivalent technology

E.g

Intel Xeon E Family

10000-30000# 2TB/3TB* - SDD 16GB

3.0GHz to 4.5GHz

12MB to 30 MB Cache

10 cores to 20 cores

or equivalent technology

E.g

Intel Xeon Scalable Gold/Platinum

* - PostgreSQL bundled is configured as a database.

#- If you have more than 30k scannable nodes, it is recommended to have separate remote servers for up to 30k nodes each. That way the load on the central server will be minimal.

Supported Browsers

MSSQL

If your AssetExplorer runs on an MSSQL setup, then make sure to host the database server in a separate machine under the same network as the application server. The DB server machine configuration solely depends on no of databases configured and usage. Please consult with your DBA or Microsoft MSSQL support for system requirements

Supported MSSQL Versions: 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022.

PostgreSQL

Since PostgreSQL 9.2 requires users to modify kernel resources to allot required resources for Postgres server,

i. Add the the below mentioned entry in /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.shmmax=536870912

kernel.shmall=131072

ii. Execute sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf to reload the configured change.

Note: This is only applicable for Linux OS installations that use bundled Postgres.

How to enable read committed snapshot isolation (RCSI)

 

All MSSQL databases usually have lock issues, which may affect an application’s optimal performance. To avoid such performance issues in AssetExplorer, enable the read committed snapshot isolation (RCSI) by following these steps:

This might take a while to complete and also requires downtime, so please schedule it over a weekend.


If the output to this query is 1, you've successfully enabled RCSI.
You can now start the application. For more information on MSSQL databases and RSCI, go here.
