Typical Reference Hardware

Server Hardware Requirements

The following sections describe the recommended specifications for the InsightCM Server. InsightCM and SystemLink are incompatible and should be installed on separate servers.

Note

Cutsforth recommends using solid state drives to improve disk throughput.

Systems with fewer than 10 Monitoring Devices

Systems with fewer than 50 Monitoring Devices

Systems with more than 50 Monitoring Devices

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit Professional

  • 2.2 GHz, 4-core processor

  • 16 GB RAM

  • One physical hard drive for OS, program installation, and storing data files—At least 500 GB disk space

  • Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022

  • 2.2 GHz, 8-core processor

  • 16 GB RAM

  • Two physical hard drives:

    • For OS and program installation—At least 250 GB disk space

    • For storing data files—At least 1 TB disk space

  • Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022

  • 3 GHz, 16-core processor

  • 32 GB RAM

  • Two physical hard drives:

    • For OS and program installation—At least 250 GB disk space

    • For storing data files—At least 2 TB disk space

Networking Requirements

A fast or gigabit Ethernet (100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps) local area network or business network connection is required between a PC/server running InsightCM and the data acquisition devices. It is also preferable for this PC/server to be connected through the network to the site data historian for ease of gathering process data.
