  • 32 CPU cores

  • 200 GB of free disk space for temporary files which are created during the classification process.

Indexer worker node

  • Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2, 2012 or 2012 R2, and 2016. The operating system must be 64-bit.

    Note:

    If classification role is assigned to Indexer and Collector node, then ensure that the operating system is Windows Server 2012 R2 or later.

  • 16GB RAM

  • 8 CPU cores

  • Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2, 2012 or 2012 R2, and 2016. The operating system must be 64- bit.
