Report Manager system requirements

Best Practices

N-able recommends that you periodically review and evenly increase your system specifications, based upon your database administrator's (DBA) recommendations.

• Set up your hardware to include 15K SAS or SDD hard disks, with battery backup and redundancy.
• Install the SQL Server and Databases on separate physical disks from the Operating System.
• Have dedicated physical hardware (not on a virtual machine).
• Have a LAN connection to N-able N-central; data transfers to Report Manager will exceed GBs of data daily.

Supported software

Only English versions of software are supported.

Only 64-bit versions of SQL and the Windows operating system are supported.
