On-Premises Installation: Technology Requirements
This topic provides general information about the required hardware and software to set up a typical ConceptShare on-premises deployment.
Requirement | Specification |
---|---|
CPU | Quad Core at 2.66 GHz or higher |
Memory | 4 GB or higher |
Storage | 250 GB RAID1 configuration |
Type | Gigabit Ethernet or higher |
These specifications are for image review or light video review that supports roughly 50 concurrent users. The amount of video content and the number of concurrent users can increase the requirements.
The system is architected in such a way that separate servers can be used for the database, queue server, and web application. Load-balancers are also supported.
Software Requirements
- [All] Windows Server 2008 or higher
- [All] Features: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher
- [Queue, Web] Role: Web Services (IIS) with the following minimum service role services:
- Common HTTP Features (Static Content, Default Document)
- Application Development (ASP.NET)
- Security (Windows Authentication, Request Filtering)
- Performance (Static Content Compression)
- [Queue] Microsoft Office 2010 Professional or higher
- [Queue] Internet Access is required on the server with Flash Player installed on the default browser (IE). The Flash player is required for Flash uploads, or web capture of pages containing Flash.
- [DB] SQL Server 2008 Edition or higher (instance can be shared)
Domain Requirements
Depending on your deployment type, you may be required to provision a domain name to resolve requests to the ConceptShare installation. You can use an IP address and hostname to resolve to a ConceptShare installation, but if you have externally-facing clients (public), they may have issues accessing your site.
Most ConceptShare installations consist of a single account (domain). However, in some reseller scenarios, multiple accounts are supported. In such cases, you will either need to provision each domain as needed or make use of a wildcard domain (for instance, *.conceptshare.yourcompany.com).
SSL Certificate Requirements
Similarly, if SSL support is desired or required, it is the responsibility of the client to provision the appropriate certificates from authorized certificate authorities and apply them to the IIS website.
SMTP/Email Requirements
ConceptShare, as a minimum, requires an SMTP server to send email and an email address to place in the "From" header for email messages.
