The above specifications are designated with physical servers in mind.
- If you are using virtualization (VMware or Hyper-V) you can designate these values to start with.
  - virtualization allows you to change these settings quickly with minimal downtime:
If you have Portal Users, you need to be sure to license your Microsoft SQL server using Core licensing.
- These licenses are sold in packs of 2. Contact your vendor for pricing.
iRely does not support installing our applications on Domain controllers (Note from Microsoft)
- “It is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller. There are specific security restrictions when running SQL Server in this configuration and given the resource demands of a domain controller, SQL Server performance may be degraded.”)
It is recommended that the software data is hosted on a separate partition from the operating system.
- Typical setup would be C:\ drive for operating system and applications, and D:\ drive for iRely databases and files.
Reserve at least 200GB of space for the C:\ drive to allow installation of applications.
