System Requirements

Hardware and Software Requirements

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

Operating System Requirements

  InterMapper for MacOS X requires MacOS X or MacOS X Server, 10.5 or newer. Any computer that can run this version of MacOS X will easily handle large maps.
  InterMapper for Windows XP/2003/Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 A Windows computer with at least a 1GHz Pentium and 512Mb of RAM will work well for at least 500 devices. Larger installations will benefit from a faster processor or more RAM. InterMapper support for IPv6 requires Windows Vista with Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008, or newer.
  InterMapper for Linux has been tested with the following Linux distributions:
  • Debian 5
  • Fedora 9 and newer
  • OpenSuSE 11.0
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5;
  • Ubuntu 8.04
InterMapper requires an x86 processor with 512Mb of RAM. Java 1.6 or newer required.
  InterMapper for Solaris requires Solaris 10, running SPARC or x86. Java 1.6 or newer required.
