This topic provides the requirements for hardware components, browsers, and operating systems.

When you install Operations Hub, all the required components are automatically installed.

To support up to 300 concurrent users, you need a hardware configuration of at least 32GB and an 8-core CPU.

You can install Operations Hub on any of the following desktop operating systems:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019
