General Hardware Requirements and Assumptions

The hardware requirements for ICM assume:

  • The configuration of ICM includes running ten background applications.

  • To guarantee availability of support and parts, we recommend your server is a name brand – For example Dell, HP, or IBM.

  • The data conversion and annual growth rate assumptions in this content are indicative:

    The actual size and growth of data in each system varies, depending on how it's implemented.

    As a general rule, the database disk drive should be twice the maximum database size.

    The backup disk drive should be four times the maximum database size.

    The degree of database logging varies, depending on how busy your ICM system is.

  • Your hardware will run one instance of ICM.

  • The specifications in this content don't cover the same site hardware redundancy, disaster recovery, or replicating to other systems.
