| System Requirements and Compatibility for MicroStrategy Narrowcast Server |  |
Hardware
The following are the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for installing all Narrowcast Server components on one machine. The following information is intended to give you general guidance on hardware requirements to support the MicroStrategy product suite. Determining the necessary hardware requirements to support MicroStrategy is dependent on many factors including but not limited to the complexity of your MicroStrategy environment, the deployment strategy of MicroStrategy features, user community requirements, expected peak usage requirements, and response time expectations. Factors such as these must be considered to determine the hardware requirements for your MicroStrategy production environment:
| Hardware | Requirement |
| RAM | 4 GB or higher |
| Processor | x86 or x64 compatible |
| Disk Space | 4 GB For space requirements for the MicroStrategy Common Files, see Common Files size requirements on Windows environments. |
To determine hardware requirements for clustered configurations, refer to the Narrowcast Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
