General Requirements for Automic Release Automation

This topic provides information on minimum requirements for hardware and software for servers and clients used for Automic Release Automation solutions.

Before You Start Installing/Upgrading, Check Compatibility and Prerequisites

You can obtain all system requirements and compatibility information from the Automic Compatibility Matrix (docs.automic.com/compatibility/ARA).

A Note on Hardware

The system requirements are broken down to the level of individual server and client machines. Within this guide, each machine is described with its function and Automic components.

It is not necessary to have an individual machine for every purpose. Depending on your environment, combining two or more machines (physical and/or virtual) is possible and useful.

The decision to install two or more components (e.g.Automation Engine server software plus Automation Engine database) on a single hardware depends on.

In case of a single hardware: Automic strongly recommends to install the individual components (such as AE module, User interface, utilities, and particular Agents) in separate directories, in order to avoid conflicting library files.

ONE Installer

When you plan to use ONE Installer, you must observe additional prerequisites for ONE Installer - Single-Box Installation.
