Vitrium Security Server Requirements

Server Requirements

(for Vitrium Security Enterprise On-Prem/Installed Edition)

Below are the minimum requirements, though requirements may differ for different use cases. The recommended configuration depends on the volume of content and anticipated unlocks.
The Vitrium team will provide you the right guidance. 

Front-End Application Host

Software Requirements

These are the minimum components that must be installed on a front-end host prior to installing Vitrium Security, unless otherwise specified by the Vitrium team during the service engagement:

  • Microsoft® Windows Server 2016, or higher recommended
  • Microsoft® IIS 8.5 or higher
  • Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.8 and later
  • Microsoft® ASP.MVC 4

Hardware Requirements

  • GHz dual-core/multi-core processor (recommend 8 CPU)
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 100 GB hard disk for file storage

Note that the content conversion performance is CPU-bound and also depends on network speed to upload/download the content to/from the server.

Storage Requirements

Disk space on the front-end host is dictated by the size of the content to be processed and stored:

  • For documents & images, the Vitrium file repository will need 2-4x the amount of space of your total files uploaded as Vitrium stores original files + web viewer files + protected PDF files
  • For video, the Vitrium file repository will need 3-6x the amount of space of your total video files as Vitrium stores the original videos + protected versions in all the different resolutions that you select in your Content Settings 
  • For audio, the Vitrium file repository will need 2x the amount of space of your total audio files as Vitrium stores the original audio files + protected versions. 

Vitrium recommends using a SAN or NAS or network share for storing the raw and/or protected content and web viewer converted files (the “repository”) in anything but large volume environments. The repository can be located anywhere.

Back-End Hosts

Software Requirements

Vitrium recommends running 2 separates hosts, one for the database and a separate one for the Vitrium Security software. We also recommend setting up a separate agent hosts to process medium-to-high volume content to ensure this doesn’t affect other processes.

For Database Host:

  • Microsoft® Windows Server 2016, or higher recommended
  • Microsoft® SQL Server 2016 or higher

For Agent Hosts:

  • Microsoft® Windows Server 2016, or higher recommended
  • Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.8

Hardware Requirements

For Agent Host(s)

  • GHz dual-core/multi-core processor (recommend 4 CPU)
  • 8 GB RAM 
  • 125 GB hard disk (50 GB for OS + 75 GB for processing)

Note that the content conversion performance is CPU-bound, and also depends on network speed to upload/download the content to/from the server.
