Server requirements

You can install the extractor on a physical server, on a virtual machine on-premises, or in the cloud.

Memory

For the default values in the configuration, the server needs a minimum of 4 GB RAM and an additional 256 GB HD for logging and storage. You can adjust the configuration to reduce memory usage.

CPU

For the default values in the configuration, the server needs a minimum of 2-core CPUs.
