MicroStrategy ONE

Intelligence Server

System Requirements

For all certified systems, see Platform Certifications.

Hardware Requirements

RAM: 16 GB (minimum)

The minimum does not consider performance. Performance testing shows that 64 GB or more of RAM should be available for Intelligence Server to fully support and take advantage of the complete feature set, while obtaining system-wide, high performance. This level of system resources allows Intelligence Server to fully use performance-improving technologies such as MicroStrategy OLAP Services, and to support optimal performance for MicroStrategy Report Services documents and dashboards and the other features.

Available hard drive space: Three times the amount of RAM available to Intelligence Server. For example, an Intelligence Server that is provided 16 GB of RAM requires 48 GB of hard drive space.

For a list detailing certified and/or supported platforms and applications servers in MicroStrategy ONE and MicroStrategy ONE, see Platform Certifications.
