System Requirements
Hardware and Software Requirements
InterMapper runs on Windows, MacOS X, Solaris SPARC and x86; and various Linux distributions (see below.)
InterMapper RemoteAccess runs on MacOS X, Windows, and Unix (including Linux) computers. Java 7 or newer or newer required. In general, any computer capable of running MacOS X, or a 1 GHz Pentium or faster Windows or Unix computer with 512 Mb of RAM will serve quite nicely to run InterMapper RemoteAccess.
InterMapper Flows requires a fairly powerful computer. Both processor power and the amount of RAM are important considerations. Although you may perform initial testing using a VM (virtual machine) environment, we do not recommend that you use a VM in production because the performance is frequently not good enough.
InterMapper Flows benefits from having a large amount of RAM for its database cache. If you want to allocate more than 1.5Gb of RAM, use a 64-bit Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or Unix system.
This table indicates the recommended system configurations for various flow rates.
| Flows/Hr | Recommended Minimum Spec |
| 100 million | Quad core, 3GHz, 65Gb of RAM, RAID storage Requires 64-bit Windows, Linux, Unix, or Macintosh hardware. |
| 10 million | Quad or Dual core, 16Gb of RAM Requires 64-bit Windows, Linux, Unix, or Macintosh hardware. |
| 1 million | Dual core, 4Gb of RAM |
Operating System Requirements
InterMapper for MacOS X requires MacOS X or MacOS X Server, 10.7 thru 10.9.5. Any computer that can run this version of MacOS X will easily handle large maps.
InterMapper for
Windows 2003/Windows Server 2008/2012/Windows 7/8/8.1 A Windows computer with at least a 1GHz
Pentium and 512Mb of RAM will work well for at least 500 devices. Larger installations will
benefit from a faster processor or more RAM. InterMapper support for
IPv6 requires Windows Server
2008, or newer.
Notes:
- XP - InterMapper is no longer supported.
- Vista - Use of InterMapper with Vista is strongly discouraged and not supported.
InterMapper for Linux has been tested with the following Linux distributions:
- Debian 6/7
- SuSE Enterprise Linux 11
- OpenSuSE 11.0
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5/6/7;
- Ubuntu 10.04/12.04/14.04
InterMapper requires an x86 processor with 512Mb of RAM.
InterMapper for Solaris requires Solaris 10/11 (SPARCv9 & x86), running SPARC or x86. Java OpenJDK/IceTea 1.7 or newer required.
Java - all versions of InterMapper require Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.7 or newer or 7 or newer. In Windows and Mac versions, JRE 1.7 or newer is installed. If you choose not to use the JRE, Java SE 7 or newer is required.
InterMapper Connection Policy
- InterMapper allows an unlimited number of clients to connect. However, InterMapper does check the serial numbers of paid, full copies of InterMapper RemoteAccess, and will not allow two copies with the same serial number to connect.
