Below are recommendations for the hardware and requirements for the software of the database server.
Requirements to DBMS server are determined by DBMS type and expected volume of stored data.
To determine DBMS server requirements, contact DBMS developers.
Communication channel requirements depend on the project features and planned number of simultaneously working users.
The communication channel width is calculated individually for each application system based on load testing results. For initial assessment at support@fsight.ru or via technical support services that are available after registration at the website.

DBMS | DBMS back end:
IMPORTANT. Working with Oracle 12.x is not supported if Oracle Multitenant technology option is enabled on installing back end. NOTE. Foresight Analytics Platform also supports work with SQLite DBMS that does not have a back end. For details see the System Requirements for Client Environment section. |
Operating system | To determine configurations of operating systems and processors (RISC systems) for a server, please refer to the DBMS documentation. |
The following are the system requirements for the hardware and the software of the client computers, which must be met for correct installation and work of Foresight Analytics Platform. Software requirements are different for work in the desktop application and the web application.
Minimum requirements | |
Processor | 2 cores, clock frequency 2.40 GHz and higher |
Platform bitness | 64-bit |
RAM memory | 4 Gb and more |
Video adapter | Video adapters supporting Shader Model 3.0, such as:
|
HDD | Free space 20 GB* or more. |
Display | Display resolution 1920x1080, diagonal 22 inches or more |
* - Free space is given including the space needed to cache objects and data. By default, temporary files are unpacked to the disk with installed operating system. The temporary files location is determined in the TMP environment variable for Windows OS or in the TMPDIR variable for Linux OS.
Software | |
Browser | Three latest browser versions are supported:
|
DBMS | DBMS client end is not necessary. |
Operating system | Any versions of operating systems where supported browser versions work that are specified above. |
To provide web application work in Chromium-Gost browser, see the Setting Up Web Application to Work in Chromium-Gost Browser section. It is relevant only for Astra Linux SE 1.7.
NOTE. The web application is not designed to be used on mobile devices. To work with Foresight Analytics Platform on mobile devices, use the Foresight Mobile BI mobile application.
Software | |
DBMS |
NOTE. To correctly connect to Oracle, PostgreSQL DBMS, bitness of Foresight Analytics Platform and Oracle DBMS front and must match.
|
Operating system |
All operating system editions are supported except the Home edition. The Demo and Personal distribution files are available in the Home edition. NOTE. To provide correct work of Foresight Analytics Platform, color depth value must be at least 16 bit. |
Video adapter drivers | The latest version of the driver for the installed video adapter. |
Add-in software | Depending on the add-ins in use, the client computer must have:
Supported Microsoft Office versions: Microsoft Office 2016, Microsoft Office 2019. |
Software for Tree Map, Bubble Tree, Bubble Chart and Map visualizers |
Graphics libraries delivered with Windows:
|
Below are recommendations for hardware and software for BI server, and application server, which should be implemented for correct work via the web service of Foresight Analytics Platform.
Hardware requirements directly depend on:
Number of simultaneously working users.
Data volume and their organization in DBMS.
Volume of requested data when working with the system.
Level of complexity of business objects and application logic.
Operating system on the server.
Virtualization system.
Supported communication protocols: HTTP/HTTPS.
Communication channel requirements depend on the project features and planned number of simultaneously working users.
Hardware requirements are calculated individually for each application system based on load testing results. For initial assessment at support@fsight.ru or via technical support services that are available after registration at the website.

For detailed description of supported versions of Linux OS see the Supported Versions of Linux OS section. |
Additional software | If web application back end is required to be used (integrated domain authentication), use Internet Information Services 8.0, 8.5, 10. Otherwise, any web server that enables the user to get static files can be used. |
If it is required to use web application back end, use Apache. It is also available to use Apache Tomcat if domain authentication will not be used. Otherwise, any web server that enables the user to get static files can be used. |
