Minimum hardware requirements
IKAN ALM Server
- RAM: minimum 512 MB (megabytes), recommended 2 GB (gigabytes) or more
- Disk Storage Space: minimum 10 GB (gigabytes), recommended 40 GB (gigabytes) or more
- There is no hard and fast rule for disk storage space. The actual amount you will require depends on the number and size of projects managed with IKAN ALM, and the size of the build results stored in the build archive. The more projects and build results, and the larger they are, the more disk storage you will require.
IKAN ALM Agent
- RAM: minimum 512 MB (megabytes), recommended 2 GB (gigabytes) or more
- Disk Storage Space: minimum 1 GB (gigabytes)
- Just as for the IKAN ALM server, these are just indicative values. For a more mathematical approach, we refer to the article “Capacity Planning For Software Build Management Servers” on the “CM Crossroads” site: http://www.cmcrossroads.com/cm-journal-articles/6671-capacity-planning-for-software-build-management-servers.
