OASIS Hardware Requirements

Generally speaking, if the server and workstations are just a few years old, they should be sufficient for OASIS usage. The most you may need to do is add a little memory or disk space depending on your role and the extent of other programs running on your machine concurrently. 

A server class machine with a RAID array is strongly recommended for hosting the OASIS database. As you transition to a paperless office and begin to store more and more data in your database, it becomes critical that the machine that hosts the database is as reliable as possible. Server hardware and enterprise hard drives are designed to operate in mission-critical environments where failure is not an option. Workstations more often than not are designed to be used from 8-5 Monday through Friday and are not built for the wear and tear that comes from handling a database application 24/7/365. It is possible to run OASIS on a workstation with a single user’s PC running as a "server." However, this is not recommended except for the smallest groups, or remote offices with just one or two users. 

Minimum Client Hardware/OS Requirements

OS: Windows 8 or 10, Mac OSX 10.7 or later
RAM: 8 GB or more
CPU: 1.6 GHz dual core or faster
Network: Gigabit wired

Minimum Server Hardware/OS Requirements

For smaller groups of 1-10 employees using a PC using as server:

OS: Windows 8,10 or later
RAM: 8 GB or more
DISK: 50 GB free  
CPU: 2.0 GHz dual core (AMD or Intel) or faster 
Network: Gigabit wired

For larger groups of 10+ employees, it is possible but not recommended to use a PC as a server:

OS: Windows 10
RAM: 8 GB or more
DISK: 100 GB free
CPU: 2.5 GHz dual core (AMD or Intel) or faster
Network: Gigabit wired

**Minimum server requirements are suitable for new customers. Customers with larger databases are going to require more disk space and more ram to operate smoothly. For more information please contact support**
