System Requirements

This subsection contains system requirements that should be met by DBMS servers, client computers, and web servers. All software can be deployed both on physical servers and in virtual environments. Deploying Applications Based on Foresight Analytics Platform is available in Windows OS and Linux OS.

TIP. For details about performance improvement settings in Foresight Analytics Platform see the Performance Improvement Recommendations article.

Working with Desktop Application

To work with the desktop application, the system is formed using Foresight Analytics Platform, which assumes presence of:

Database server with one of the supported DBMS installed.
License server that is used to activate Foresight Analytics Platform with network license and manage the number of simultaneously working users.
Application server that is used for delayed tasks execution.
Client computers, which have Foresight Analytics Platform installed.

See requirements for the database server, the license server, the application server, the client computer and with the requirements for operating system settings.

Working with Web Application

To work with the web application, the system is formed using Foresight Analytics Platform, which assumes presence of:

Database server with one of the supported DBMS installed.
License server that is used to activate Foresight Analytics Platform with network license and manage the number of simultaneously working users.
Application server that is used for delayed tasks execution.
BI server, on which the BI Server web service is installed.
Web server, on which web application back end for Linux OS or Windows OS is installed.
Client computer connected to the network, in which the web server is located.

NOTE. BI server, application server and web application can be located on the same physical server. On executing resource-intensive tasks, locate application server and BI server on different physical servers.

For correct installation of web server, application server and work of Foresight Analytics Platform web application, see requirements for operating system settings.

Study system requirements for hardware and software for the database server, the license server, the web application server, the application server, the BI server and client computers.
