System Requirements
iMIS architecture is made up of a single database server, one or more application servers (appservers), and two types of clients (a Windows application and a web application), which run on typical workstations. These requirements apply across database servers, appservers, and workstations. Web clients only need to meet requirements for displays and browsers.
Minimum hardware (all)

- 2 GB of RAM
- 3.2 GB of disk space for a full/custom install. 1.8 MB for Advanced Accounting Console install/upgrade (InstallShield might under-report disk space needed)
- An additional 2 GB of disk space on the C: drive (for temp files). When upgrading, an additional amount of C: drive disk space on the database server that totals twice the size of your database
- Application Server: additional disk space for publishing and indexing your contact files for search (for example, 275K contacts=1GB, 2M contacts=7.56GB).
