The hardware requirements and software configurations contained in this guide pertain to the installation of DocFusion in production environments. They cover the setup of a secure Microsoft Service Fabric cluster upon which DocFusion runs, associated database software, and load-balancing infrastructure. The stability and performance of DocFusion depends on these requirements.
All requirements and configurations are mandatory.
Failure to comply with any requirements or configurations in this guide nullifies associated support plans.
Hardware Requirements
You are planning a server cluster with a minimum of 3 Domain-Joined Servers. The minimum hardware requirements for each member of the cluster, whether physical node or virtual machine, is detailed in the table below:
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
Processor | 4-core or greater |
Memory (RAM) | 16 GB |
Storage | Minimum 80GB available disk-space |
Connectivity |

Networking & Security Requirements
All node servers, physical and virtual machines, must be connected to the same secure network.
Storage
High-performing SMB share between multiple nodes.
The storage is used for transient transfer of data for processing purposes.
The cloud equivalent is Azure blob storage or AWS S3 buckets.
