Installation Considerations – Physical / Virtual Server
- The migration will require a new Supportworks Server
- Supportworks can be installed on virtual or physical servers
- The Virtualization technology used is up to you
Supported Operating Systems
Supportworks Server
Microsoft Windows 2012 Server (64-bit) R2 Microsoft Windows 2012 Server (64-bit) Microsoft Windows 2008 Server (64-bit) R2 Microsoft Windows 2008 Server (32-bit and 64-bit)
Supportworks Client
Microsoft Windows 10 Microsoft Windows 8 Microsoft Windows 7
Separate Volume / Drive Installation
If your Supportworks Application is to be installed on a drive other than the C: drive
Enable 8dot3name creation for the required drives prior to installation by running the following from the command prompt. To enable this on all drives on the server (recommended)
fsutil 8dot3name set 0
You can also enable the 8dot3name for a specific drive . For example, ifSupportworks is to be installed on the D drive, run the following
fsutil 8dot3name set d:0
Firewall Configuration
Your firewall must be configured to allow connections to the server on the following TCP ports:
5001- 5008 80 and 443 25 (SMTP with or without TLS) 110 (POP3) or 995 (POP3s) 143 (IMAP4) or 993 (IMAP4s) 389 (LDAP) or 636 (LDAPs)
Supported Web Browsers
- Internet Explorer 8.0 and above
- Firefox 6.0 and above
- Chrome 26.0 and above
Sizing Your Server – Minimum Memory and CPU Requirements
You will require a server with a minimum specification of
4GB RAM 1 Quad Core CPU The same amount of disk space on your existing Supportworks plus additional 2GB for the installation files Supportworks will be migrated to the same drive as your existing Supportworks application server.
If a physical server is provided, we strongly recommend RAID 5 SCSI for resilience and performance
Databases
Maria DB
MariaDB is shipped as part of the Core Services that come with Supportworks ESP and is used as an embedded database. We pre-configure Supportworks ESP to use this embedded database for the application data
Microsoft SQL
- SQL Server 2014
- SQL Server 2012
- SQL Server 2008 R2
