Requirements for the PCO Server Components

The machine on which you install the PCO server components must have the required hardware and software before you begin the installation.

These requirements also cover installing the PCO server and its frontend tools, the Modelling Studio and Predictive Analytics (PDA). Typically, you would install PDA and maybe even the Modelling Studio on a different machine than the PCO server. You would do this partly because the client products must be installed locally and partly for better performance. However, you could install them on the same machine, for example, for a test environment. In this case, the requirements here will also cover the needs of installing all three on the same machine.

For database specifications, see Database Requirements.

Hardware Requirements

The machine where you want to install the Policy Orchestrator server components must have at least the hardware and system capabilities that are listed in the following table.

Important: Make sure that the Microsoft Security Update KB928365 is NOT installed on your Windows machine.

Software Requirements

To install and use the frontend products, each computer on which you install the Modelling Studio and/or PDA must have at least the following hardware and system capabilities.

You will need at least the following software installed on the machines where you want to install and use the PCO Server, PCO Modelling Studio and/or PDA.
