The following information is targeted towards organizations that wish to host the Claromentis Software themselves.

Claromentis also offers SaaS and Perpetual Licenses on Hosted severs. If you would like to find out more about the SaaS and Hosted Options, please click here…(coming soon)

Claromentis Server Requirements are dependent on a number of factors; the most important of which are…

• Number of expected concurrent users
• Size and Frequency of Document Access

As a general rule, the number of expected concurrent users should determine the CPU and RAM resources that are required to handle the processing of requests made to the server. The frequency of Document access is also an important factor when determining the CPU and RAM requirements, as these are the components that will manage the requests and transmissions of the files.

The Claromentis Framework effectively contains 3 components.

• Web Services (The PHP Code and Visual Interface – Presented by APACHE or IIS)
• The Database (MySQL, MSSQL, ORACLE)
• File Storage (Contains Document Files)

Depending on requirements, each on of the 3 components above can be hosted on a single server, or each on a separate server/location.

• Databases benefit from increases in CPU resources.
  • More CPU’s, More Cores, Faster Processes = Better Performance
• It’s better to have more CPU’s (Physical or Core), than it is to get a single CPU that has great speed.
• Servers that host the File Storage will benefit from increases in RAM (Memory)
  • More RAM = Better handling of the File Management – Can provide relief to the CPU
• Better/Fast Disk Drives will improve performance for frequently accessed file/documents

The following can be used as a guide to identify the minimum resources required to get your instance of Claromentis operating at a proficient level.

• RAM: 4 GB RAM

Dual Server Recommendation: Database Server

• Processor: 1 x Quad Core or 2 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 2 GB RAM

Web and File Server:

• Processor: 1 x Quad Core or 2 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 2 GB RAM

Single Server Recommendation: * Processor: 4 x Quad Core * RAM: 8-16 GB RAM

Dual Server Recommendation:

Database Server

• Processor: 2 x Quad Core or 4 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 4 GB RAM

Web and File Server:

• Processor: 2 x Quad Core or 4 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 4-8 GB RAM

Dual Server Recommendation Database Server

• Processor: 2 x Quad Core or 4 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 4 GB RAM

Web and File Server

• Processor: 4 x Quad Core

Three Server Recommendation

Database Server

• Processor: 2 x Quad Core or 4 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 4 GB RAM

Web Server

• Processor: 2 x Quad Core or 4 x Dual Core CPU’s
• RAM: 8 GB RAM

File Server or NFS

NB: A NFS can be used to offer scalable storage as an alternative to a file server

Claromentis will run on 64-bit processors, but does rely on running PHP and Zend Optimizer in 32-bit compatibility mode. PHP, APACHE and Zend have not yet released 64bit versions of their software.

There are no specific hardware requirements for clients to access the Claromentis Software. All that is required is an internet connection and a browser.

To ensure that all features of the software can be used, the browser should have the following modules enabled/allowed:
