Minimum System Requirements for Compatibility…

Ultimate Migrator is built to be scalable. The main console is a web-based application that runs under IIS with a SQL Server backend. The primary role for this is to store settings, logs and statistics, so allowing for the management of the migration process. No messaging data is passed through the console or database and as a result, the resource requirements for the main application are quite small. Where an installation has more than 10,000 archives under management, then adding memory or CPUs will increase application response times.

A Windows service named the Remote Agent (RA) is deployed around an organization. It is the RA that does the heavy lifting and the more resources available to this component the better. The RA can be configured to run in multi-threaded mode, so aiding throughput. However, a number of sources and destinations impose throttling, so adding resources for the RA and increasing the thread count does not necessarily increase throughput. Be assured that the RA is optimised to process messages as quickly as they are made available, bypassing slow APIs where possible.

Smaller organisations will typically use a single machine that hosts all components, while larger organisations may choose to split out the roles across highly specified servers. To accommodate the legacy hardware and software regularly encountered on a client premise, the minimum system requirements are as follows:

Console

• Windows Server 2003 or Windows 7 (Server 2008 R2 and above recommended)
• IIS 6.0 (7.5 and above recommended)
• 2+ VCPUs or physical
• 16Gb RAM
• 10Gb Available Disk Space

SQL Database Requirement

• Windows Server 2003 or Windows 7 (Server 2008 R2 or above recommended)
• SQL Server 2008 Express (Standard or Enterprise Edition recommended)
• 2+ VCPUs or physical
• 16Gb RAM
• 50Gb Available Disk Space

Remote Agent

• Windows Server 2003 or Windows 7 (Server 2008 R2 or above recommended)
• .NET framework 4.0 (not client profile)
• 2+ VCPUs or physical
• 16Gb RAM
• 10Gb Available Disk Space (more for verbose logging)
• Outlook 2007 (2013 recommended in preference to 2016 or 2019)
• EV API Runtime, version to match the server version (when migrating from Enterprise Vault
• Sufficient disk space if storing exported data
