InterMapper runs on Windows, MacOS X, Solaris SPARC and x86; and various Linux distributions (see below.)
InterMapper RemoteAccess runs on MacOS X, Windows, and Unix (including Linux) computers. Java 1.6 or newer required. In general, any computer capable of running MacOS X, or a 1 GHz Pentium or faster Windows or Unix computer with 512 Mb of RAM will serve quite nicely to run InterMapper RemoteAccess.
InterMapper Flows requires a fairly powerful computer. Both processor power and the amount of RAM are important considerations. Although you may perform initial testing using a VM (virtual machine) environment, we do not recommend that you use a VM in production because the performance is frequently not good enough.
InterMapper Flows benefits from having a large amount of RAM for its database cache. If you want to allocate more than 1.5Gb of RAM, use a 64-bit Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or Unix system.
This table indicates the recommended system requirements for various flow rates.
Flows/Hr | Recommended Minimum Spec |
100 million | Quad core, 3GHz, 65Gb of RAM, RAID storage Requires 64-bit Windows, Linux, Unix, or Macintosh hardware. |
10 million | Quad or Dual core, 16Gb of RAM Requires 64-bit Windows, Linux, Unix, or Macintosh hardware. |
1 million | Dual core, 4Gb of RAM |
