Server Requirements

  • Windows 10 or higher, Windows Server 2016 and higher, 32/64 bit Linux
  • 250 GB Hard Drive (Minimum)
  • 4 GB RAM (Minimum, see below for recommended RAM based on call volume.)
  • Quad Core CPU

RAM Requirements

Example: 10,000 Calls a Day = 6GB of RAM

  • 20,000 Calls a Day = 8GB of RAM
  • 30,000 Calls a Day = 10GB of RAM
  • 50,000 Calls a Day = 14GB of RAM

Cisco Call Manager

Yes


User Computer Requirements (Web Interface)

  • Any computer with a modern browser
  • 1280 x 720 or higher screen resolution

User Computer Requirements (ACR Desktop)

  • Windows 7+ (64 bit)
  • Mac OS X 10.7.3+ (Intel-based)

Server Requirements for Linux

The following metrics and specifications assume the server is dedicated to hosting Chronicall and that no other resource-intensive software is running. Virus and security scanning software should be configured to not actively scan the Chronicall database; otherwise disk IOPS requirements will be higher than what is listed.

Baseline Server Requirements

System TypeArchitectureCPU SpeedNetwork Requirements
Server Linux* (CentOS 7+ or Ubuntu 14+)64-bit2+ GHzreliable, low-latency

*Other Linux distributions may work, but Chronicall/ACR is only validated on CentOS and Ubuntu.
