Data Warehouse server requirements

The Data Warehouse server must run on a computer that is compatible with established hardware and software requirements. You must ensure that Apache web server or reporting software is not already installed on this machine.

Important: Sizing for OnCommand Insight has multiple dependencies, such as number of assets in your environment, amount of historical data retained, and more. The following data warehouse sizing examples are guidelines only; they represent some of the environments in which Insight has been tested. Changing any of these or other factors in the environment can change the sizing requirements for Insight.

It is recommended to contact your Sales Engineer for detailed sizing guidance before installing or upgrading Insight.
