Installation

The CData Virtuality software can be installed on many operating systems, including numerous Linux distributions and different versions of macOS and Windows.

This section includes three subsections for the different operating systems.

Pre-requisites

The system must meet certain requirements for the CData Virtuality Server and Studio to be successfully deployed.

CData Virtuality Server Requirements

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Productive Usage

CPU: 4 Cores
RAM: 16 GB RAM
Hard drive: 500 GB SATA-3 SSD

Please be aware that these hardware requirements concern only the CData Virtuality service. You will need additional resources for the underlying operating system and other software that might run on the same server.

Please also note that a working installation of a database management system is required to host the analytical storage (see our website for a complete list of DBMS we support). If the analytical storage runs on the same machine as the CData Virtuality Server, we strongly recommend carefully considering and planning resources.

Recommended Hardware Requirements

Our support engineers will be happy to help you identify the specific requirements for your use cases - do not hesitate to get in touch with them for more information!

CData Virtuality Studio Requirements
