This page provides the minimum and recommended software and hardware requirements to successfully install and use Lasernet Keep.
Note
This page contains draft documentation for beta software. Until the final release of Lasernet Keep 11.0, the content on this page is subject to revision.
Hardware
Standalone Deployment
Note
These are the minimum requirements for running a Keep server.
We recommend that you install Keep on a Virtual Machine (VM).
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
Memory | 4 GB |
Hard Disk (Free space) | Around 950 MB is required for the application install |
Processor | 64-bit 2-core processor |
We recommend a separate SQL database server.
Note
We recommend a Storage Area Network (SAN) server for archived documents, sized to specific requirements. Typical storage ratios are 10,000–50,000 per GB for scanned documents and 30,000–90,000 per GB for documents generated by Lasernet.
A minimum of 100 GB space is recommended, which should be monitored and scaled according to usage as more data enters the system over time.
Minimum and Recommended Specifications for VMs
VM Type | RAM (Minimum) | CPU Cores (Minimum) | RAM (Recommended) | CPU Cores (Recommended) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Keep VM | 4 GB | 2 Cores | 16 GB | 4 Cores |
SQL VM | 4 GB | 2 Cores | 8 GB | 4 Cores |
Clustered Deployment
Domain Controller
The domain controller is the main point of configuration for the cluster.
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
Memory | 2 GB |
Hard Disk (Free space) | Around 950 MB is required for the application install |
Processor | 64-bit 2-core processor |
Host Controller
Host controllers are the follower nodes of the cluster. They are configured to connect to the domain controller and function as one of the following:
Load Balancer: Manages user traffic and passes it on to the application nodes.
Application: The application nodes serving users. In this case, Keep.
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
Memory | 4 GB |
Hard Disk (Free space) | Around 950 MB is required for the application install |
Processor | 64-bit 2-core processor |
Software
Prerequisite software (operating system and JRE) must be present on the Keep server. A supported database management system must be available to Keep.
A supported web browser must be present on client computers.
The Lasernet Keep Compatibility Matrices page describes what prerequisite software is required, and indicates which versions of this prerequisite software are supported for each Keep version. Unless stated otherwise, we recommend installing the latest supported prerequisite software.
Note
These are third-party dependencies that might each carry an additional cost to acquire the software.
Ensure that the necessary licenses for all prerequisite software have been obtained.
