Server Hardware Requirements

The following examples represent possible hardware configurations based on the number of users.  For each configuration, the following hardware specs should be treated as minimum requirements.

Single Server Configuration (For 10 or less users)

This represents a configuration where the Application Server, Database Server, and Reporting Services are installed on the same server.

Note:

  • This server must be dedicated to FASTER and cannot be shared.

  • These are minimum specifications. Your use may require more resources.

Two Server Configuration (For 10-50 users)

This represents a configuration where the Application Server is on one server while the Database Server and Reporting Services are installed on the second server.

Application Server Hardware

Note:

  • This server must be dedicated to FASTER and cannot be shared.

  • These are minimum specifications. Your use may require more resources.

Database/Reporting Services Server Hardware

Note: These are minimum specifications. Your use may require more resources.

Note: If you are using a shared database server, it is critical that it have enough RAM. Due to the number of users and the high dependency on FASTER for work tasks and reporting, FASTER is often the most intensive database on a shared database server. Therefore, for a shared database server, we recommend a minimum of 32 GB RAM or more.

Three Server Configuration - Basic Enterprise (More than 50 users)

This represents a configuration where the Application Server, Database Server, and Reporting Services are all installed on separate servers.

Application Server Hardware

Note:

  • This server must be dedicated to FASTER and cannot be shared.

  • These are minimum specifications. Your use may require more resources.

Database Server Hardware

Note: These are minimum specifications. Your use may require more resources.

Note: If you are using a shared database server, it is critical that it have enough RAM. Due to the number of users and the high dependency on FASTER for work tasks and reporting, FASTER is often the most intensive database on a shared database server. Therefore, for a shared database server, we recommend a minimum of 32 GB RAM or more.

Reporting Services Server Hardware

Note: These are minimum specifications. Your use may require more resources.

Note: If you are using a shared database server, it is critical that it have enough RAM. Due to the number of users and the high dependency on FASTER for work tasks and reporting, FASTER is often the most intensive database on a shared database server. Therefore, for a shared database server, we recommend a minimum of 32 GB RAM or more.
