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 1,000 attended robots
- or -
Max # of 50 unattended robots
With 12 additional cores:
Max # of 10,000 attended robots

Database Software Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or higher (Express edition, NO license required), including these components:
  • Database Engine Services
  • Basic Management Tools
** In test environments, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express Edition can be optionally installed by the RPA server installation package
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or higher (Standard edition, license required), including these components:
  • Database Engine Services
  • Basic Management Tools
** In production environments, database software must be installed prior to RPA server installation
  Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or higher (Standard edition or higher, license required), including these components:
  • Database Engine Services
  • Basic Management Tools
** In production environments, database software must be installed prior to RPA server installation
 

*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.
