Requirements
Before installing FactoryTalk Historian ME, determine your
platform requirements and configuration environment. The
following information offers some guidelines as you begin

System Requirements
The hardware and software requirements for FactoryTalk Historian
ME depend on the demands an application places on the system.
The greater the demand, the more powerful a system must be to
support this demand. For large or complex applications, use
computers with faster CPUs and more RAM. In addition to this,
there should always be sufficient disk space to provide virtual
memory that is at least twice the size of the physical RAM.
