FAQ > Using PressWise > What are the System Requirements to run PressWise?
Cloud Hosted System
Internet access and the ability to upload/view pdfs. The minimum internet connection should ideally be a 6mb DSL connection. Customers seldom experience the “advertised” speed so we suggest you test your speed to make sure you are getting at least 3mb.
Self Hosted System
Minimum System
4 core server w/ 4gb ram.
Allocate 4 cores and 4GB ram to PressWise.
Install 64 bit operating system (Windows or MacOS)
1TB storage directly on server
Recommended System
12 core server w/ 12gb ram.
Allocate 8 cores and 8GB ram to PressWise.
Install 64 bit operating system (Windows or MacOS)
2TB storage directly on server (w/ RAID)
This will leave 4 cores open for better performance in the host operating system.
VMWare is required and will actually run on any OS, so we don't mind what you put on it as long as it's 64bit
