Hardware Requirements

Minimum hardware requirements for Directory Manager are:

  • 1.4 GHz or faster with four or more cores on a 64-bit processor

  • 8 GB of RAM in case of Directory Manager-managed Elasticsearch

    6 GB of RAM in case of self-managed Elasticsearch

    RECOMMENDED: We recommend a dedicated server for Directory Manager. If you install any other application on the Directory Manager server, then adjust RAM requirements accordingly. For example, if you install SQL Server, you may need to add 2-4 GB RAM depending on the edition of the SQL Server.

    Different editions of SQL Server have varying resource requirements. For example:

    • SQL Server Express – Minimal resource usage; 2 GB additional RAM may suffice.
    • SQL Server Standard or Enterprise – These require more resources; allocate 4 GB or more additional RAM for optimal performance.
  • 6 GB or more disk space (for installation only)

    Space requirements are relative to the provider's data size growth for Elasticsearch data.
