Hardware Requirements

There is no general recommendation on hardware requirements for PowerFolder Server, since it all depends on the number of folders and files which should be managed. Therefore we just provide a rough figure here on how to scale the hardware for PowerFolder Server.

If you manage about 1.000.000 files, the following hardware is recommended:

• Dual- or Quad-Core CPU, > 2 GHz 
• 2-4 GB RAM

PowerFolder Server only requires about 100MB of disk space for the program itself. The disk space for the data has to be scaled according the expected data which should be managed by PowerFolder Server.
