From setting up your server to selecting proper workstation computers, read below for the most up-to-date Hardware requirements for optimal use of your Edge system.
Minimum represents the bare minimum required to run but does not guarantee optimum performance.
Recommended represents the requirements to run The Edge optimally.
Server
Server requirements depend on the number of workstations you intend to use. Keep in mind if the server is running other intensive applications simultaneously it will impact performance and you should strongly consider exceeding the Recommended requirements.
We install Microsoft SQL 2019 which REQUIRES Windows 10, Windows 11, or Windows Server 2016.
Microsoft does NOT recommend installing SQL on a domain controller. If you intend to do this, you must sign a separate waiver before we will complete your setup.
