System requirements

Beta

The features described in this section are currently in beta testing and are subject to change.

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

Memory

The default configuration requires the server to have a minimum of 8 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 4-core CPUs.

Note

The memory and CPU requirements also depend on the requirements provided by PROSPER. The machine should fulfill the basic requirements needed to run PROSPER simulators.

Software

• Windows Server 2016 or later.
• A Windows account with admin rights to install the connector.
• Access to the Windows machine, for instance through VPN.
• .NET 8.0 runtime.
• PETEX OpenServer license.
• The PETEX simulators; PROSPER or GAP. The connector has been tested on PETEX IPM v11.5 - v13.5.

Network access

• If the VM is behind a firewall, allow access to the endpoint: https://{cluster}.cognitedata.com. For example, if the project is in the Europe 2 (Microsoft) cluster, then this endpoint is https://westeurope-1.cognitedata.com.
