Hardware recommendations

The installation may use up to 120 meg of disk space. We recommend using 8 gigabytes of memory. Our software streams data, therefore, having loads of memory is not going to improve performance. (eg: it does not load all the data into memory at once).

We do have customers running our ETL software on low-end servers in the cloud.

Most of the time two i7 processors and 16 gigs of memory is more than enough. We prefer not to force someone to buy expensive hardware which is not going to be used. It is better to start small and upgrade later.

Repository database

The repository database stores all the information about connections, transformations, packages, SQL scripts, reports and execution logging. This is where the results of ETL designer hard work is stored and obviously, no one wants to lose it.

Repository database takes approximately 200 megs.
