System Requirements – Server
The following calculations are based on the usage assumption as mentioned in Nintex RPA Usage Assumption.
Test Server | Production Environment (minimum /for test purposes) | Production Environment (recommended for production) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Single Server | Single Server | RPA Servers | Database Server | Centralized Log Repository Server (SEQ)* | |
Machine Role | RPA Server + Database + Console + SEQ | RPA Server + Database + Console + SEQ | RPA Server + Console | Database | SEQ |
Number of servers** | 1 physical or VM server | 1 physical or VM server | 1-2 physical or VM servers | According to organization policy – redundant or cluster | According to organization policy – redundant or cluster |
CPU** | 4 cores |
8 cores + 4 cores for each 1,000 concurrent attended or 25 unattended robots |
8 cores + 2 core for each 1,000 concurrent attended or 25 unattended robots |
8 cores + 2 core for each 1,000 concurrent attended or 25 unattended robots | 4 cores |
Memory** | 16 GB | 24GB + 2GB for each 1,000 concurrent attended or 25 unattended robots | 16GB + 1GB for each 1,000 concurrent attended or 25 unattended robots | 16GB + 1GB for each 1,000 concurrent attended or 25 unattended robots | 16 GB RAM |
Robot Capacity |
According to number of CPU cores – With 8 cores (minimum architecture): Max # of 1000 attended robots - or - Max # of 25 unattended robots With 8 additional cores: Max # of 2000 attended robots - or - Max # of 100 unattended robots |
According to number of CPU cores – With 8 cores (minimum architecture): Max # of 1,000 attended robots - or - Max # of 50 unattended robots With 12 additional cores: Max # of 10,000 attended robots - or - Max # of 200 unattended robots |
According to number of CPU cores – With 8 cores (minimum architecture): Max # of 1,000 attended robots - or - Max # of 50 unattended robots With 12 additional cores: Max # of 10,000 attended robots - or - Max # of 200 unattended robots |

*The information is based on SEQ System Requirements.
** If you are using Vmware or any virtualization system, you must commit and reserve the required memory and CPU to each RPA server and Robot (client), i.e., the machines cannot be used as over-committed servers.
