Hardware Requirements

The hardware required to run Crowd depends significantly on the number of applications and users that your installation will have, as well as the maximum number of concurrent requests that the system will experience during peak hours.

During evaluation Crowd will run well on any reasonably fast workstation computer (eg. 1.5+Ghz processor). Memory requirements depend on how many projects and issues you will store, but 256MB is enough for most evaluation purposes.

Most users start by downloading Crowd, and running it on their local computer. It is easy to migrate Crowd to your enterprise infrastructure later.

We would appreciate if you let us know what hardware configuration works for you. Please create a support request in JIRA with your hardware specification and mention the number of users and issues in your Crowd installation.

Software Requirements

  1. Sun JDK 1.4 (1.5 or higher is preferred).
  2. J2EE 1.4 application server or a Servlet 2.3 web container.
  3. JDBC-compliant database that is supported by Hibernate. NOTE: Crowd ships with a built-in HSQL database, which is fine for evaulation purposes. For production environments we recommend configuring Crowd to use an external database
