Hardware and Software Requirements

If you want to host your own Dataloy VMS server you’ll need an Oracle Database in addition to an application server.

We recommend having a separate application and database server, but you can run both Oracle Database and Dataloy VMS on the same server.

Dataloy provides hosting alternatives for running Dataloy VMS in the cloud. Please contact sales@dataloy.com for more information.

Requirements

English OS language is required on all servers that should be accessed by Dataloy.

Oracle Server

Operating System:
We recommend using Linux (Ubuntu or CentOS) on the Oracle Database server. Microsoft Windows Server is also supported by Oracle (and Dataloy), but our experience is that databases running on Linux servers tend perform better on the same hardware.
For details please refer to Oracle guidelines.

Disk Configuration

We recommend having separate disks/partitions for:

  1. System and Oracle program files

  2. Oracle datafiles

  3. Log files, archive files and backup files

We recommend using fast SSD disks for both system files and Oracle data files.

Memory Configuration

Minimum 8GB RAM

Processor Configuration

One (or more) powerful quad core processors.
(Oracle licensing regulations must be considered)

Oracle Version

We recommend Oracle Standard Edition One version 12c.

We require that the Oracle version is supported by Oracle.

Application Server

Operating System:

Dataloy VMS runs RedHat's application server Wildfly which is a Java based application server. It can run on any platform that has Java JDK. We highly recommend Linux (Ubuntu), but in environments where Windows Server is require we do not require using Linux.

Operating systems must support Java JDK version 8.

Java JDK

Dataloy VMS requires Java JDK 8 on the Application Server.

Disk Configuration

We require a separate partition of minimum 40GB for Dataloy VMS Application Server.

Memory Configuration

Minimum 8GB RAM

Processor Configuration

One (or more) powerful quad core processor.

Oracle and Application Server combined

When running both Oracle and VMS server on the same server we recommend at least 16 GB of memory.

Network and High Speed Internet Connections

For Customers hosting their own servers internet connection speed is not that important for the system performance (as everything is done inside your network)

For Cloud customers (where Dataloy Systems host the system) the minimum requirements for the internet connection are:

  • Download: 10 Mbit

  • Upload: 10 Mbit

It is possible to use the systems on slower internet connections, however this is not recommended and the user experience might affected by performance issues.
