Requirements
The following requirements has to be met
Hardware requirements
Memory: At least 8 GB recommended
CPU: Should be a modern processor with multiple cores
DISK: At least 30 GB for the base and the rest depends on the volume of your data. The rough estimate is that it will take about 2 GB of disk space for every million of archive units. So if there is 2 millions of data then 30 + (2 * 2) = 34 GB should be enough
