Requirements


iGene requires a server on which to run. The specifications of the application server are dependent on whether the database is located on a separate system or not. iGene will happily function on a virtual machine and the majority of our customers go down this route. Which ever way is chosen, the minimum specifications will still need to be matched.

These specifications assume a Windows installation. If the customer intends to use a Linux system then please contact Genial Genetics for more information.

iGene Specifications - iGene Only

iGene’s minimum server requirements for an installation of the application are:

  • 6GB RAM
  • 2.4GHz Dual Core CPU
  • 40GB Hard Drive for the operating system
  • 100GB Hard Drive for the storage pool

If the storage pool is intended to be located directly on a SAN then the hard drive space allocated for the storage pool can be reduced to 10GB.

iGene Specifications - SQL and iGene

iGene’s minimum server requirements for an installation of SQL Server and iGene are:

  • 12GB RAM
  • 2.4GHz 6 Core CPU
  • 40GB hard drive for the operating system
  • 40GB hard drive for the log files
  • 40GB hard drive for the data files
  • 100GB hard drive for the storage pool
  • SSD hard drives

Most SQL Server installations will consume as much RAM as available. The more that can be allocated the better.

SQL Server Specifications

If iGene has a separate dedicated SQL Server then the following are the minimum specifications:

  • 8GB RAM
  • 2.4GHz Quad Core CPU
  • 40GB hard Drive for operating system
  • 40GB hard Drive for log files
  • 40GB hard Drive for data files
  • SSD hard drives

Most SQL Server installations will consume as much RAM as they can. The more that can be allocated the better.

Supported Operating Systems

iGene will function on the majority of Microsoft Windows Server operating systems from Server 2003 and above.
