Following are the recommended server requirements for the server or servers that will host Microsoft® SQL Server and the Aprima Application Server. The items on this server will be the operating system, the installation of Microsoft SQL Server, the Aprima databases, the backup files for the databases, and the installation of the Aprima Application Server. If you also plan on hosting Exchange Server, Terminal Server, or any other Microsoft (or other vendor’s) server application, both Microsoft and Aprima recommend that you install those applications on a separate server.
The following are minimum server requirements for one to two providers and for three to five providers. The Aprima Application Server and SQL database server are installed on one server.
| Number of Providers | 1 - 2 | 3 - 5 |
| Number of Total Users | 3 - 6 | 7 - 20 |
| CPU | Xeon Dual Core or better | Xeon Dual Core or better |
| Memory | Recommended: 4 GB | Recommended: 4 GB
5 providers: 6 GB (This requires Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 32 bit Enterprise Edition or Windows Server 2008 64 bit Standard Edition.) |
| OS Drive | 2 x 80 GB RAID 1 | 2 x 80 GB RAID 1, minimum 7200 rpm |
| Data Drive | 3 x 160 GB RAID 5 or 4 x 160 GB RAID 10 | 3 x 160 GB RAID 5 or 4 x 160 GB RAID 10, minimum 10k rpm Recommended: 15k rpm |
| NIC | 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet | 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet |

The following is a recommendation for server hardware required to run Aprima for 6 to 15 providers. The Aprima application server and database server are installed on the same machine. If using Aprima in a Citrix environment, additional hardware must be used according to Citrix specifications.
| Number of Providers | 6 - 15 |
| Number of Users | 20 - 60 |
| CPU | 2 Xeon Dual Core or 1 Quad Core (4 cores total or better) |
| Memory | Recommended: 8 GB (This requires Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 32 bit Enterprise Edition or Windows Server 2008 64 bit Standard Edition.) |
| OS Drive | 2 x 80 GB RAID 1, minimum 7200 rpm |
| Data Drive | 6 x 250 GB RAID 10, minimum 10k rpm Recommended: 15k rpm |
| NIC | 100/1000 Mbps ethernet |
| Software |
|
The following is a recommendation for server hardware required to run Aprima for 16 or more providers. The Aprima application server and database server are installed on the same machine. If using Aprima in a Citrix environment, additional hardware must be used according to Citrix specifications.
| Number of Providers | 16 or more |
| Number of Users | 60 or more |
| CPU | Dual Quad Core. More cores will improve performance as more providers/users are added. |
| Memory | Recommended: 12 GB. More memory will improve performance as more providers/users are added. |
| OS Drive | 2 x 80 GB RAID 1, minimum 7200 rpm |
| Data Drive | 8 or more x 250 GB RAID 10. Recommended 15K or faster RPM or SAN drives. Discuss with your Implementation Representative to determine your specific needs. |
| NIC | 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet |
