SmartSync Server System Requirements

Workstations

The following are the minimum, recommended, and maximum hardware requirements to run SmartSync Server. SmartSync Server will run with the minimum requirements on the listed Microsoft Windows Server versions. The following minimum hardware requirements are provided by Microsoft for Windows Server 2008R2 with IIS 7.5.

  • Minimum 1 GHz 64-bit (x64) processor; 2 GHz recommended for improved performance.
  • Minimum 2 GB of RAM; 8 GB recommended for improved performance, with an additional 1 GB for every 100 users and 5000 files.

    Note: Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

  • Minimum 10 GB hard disk space. 40 GB or higher recommended for improved performance.

    Note: These are the approximate disk space requirements for the system partition. Itanium-based operating systems will vary from these estimates. Additional disk space may be required if you install the system over a network.

File server/networks

  • Microsoft® Windows Server® 2016
  • Microsoft® Windows Server® 2012 (with IIS 8)
  • Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2 (with IIS7.5 and version 6 compatibility pack)
  • Failover server and regular backups recommended for High Availability (HA)
  • A licensed copy of Working Papers with SmartSync must be installed on the same server as the SmartSync service.

  • SmartSync Server: Port 80 for HTTP access and port 443 for HTTPS access.
  • Client workstations: Port 80 for HTTP access and port 443 for HTTPS access to the IIS web server where SmartSync Server is installed.
