System Requirements

The following system requirements highly depend on the number of Named Users, Concurrent Users and deployed applications.

Hardware Requirements

By default, the Axon Ivy Engine runs a bundled Elasticsearch server. It is possible to integrate with an external Elasticsearch instance. This also affects the minimum hardware requirements.

With bundled Elasticsearch server (default)

  • Memory (RAM): Minimum is 8 GB, we recommend using 32 GB.

  • Disk Space: Minimum is 20 GB, we recommend 100 GB on a Solid State Disk (SSD).

  • Processors: Minimum is 4 cores with 2 GHz, we recommend 16 cores with 2.5 GHz.

With external Elasticsearch server

  • Memory (RAM): Minimum is 4 GB. We recommend using at least 16 GB.

  • Disk Space: Minimum is 2 GB. We recommend 50 GB on a Solid State Disk (SSD).

  • Processors: Minimum is 4 cores with 2 GHz. We recommend 16 cores with 2.5 GHz.

File System

On Linux, the Axon Ivy Engine’s directory requires a file system that fully supports the POSIX file operations. For example, Linux setups using SMB/CIFS shares with incomplete POSIX behavior are not supported. This is due to a known limitation in the JDK itself.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Azure classic file share

Software Requirements

The Axon Ivy Engine needs Java SE 17 to run and is tested with Eclipse Temurin.

Note: Java SE 17 Eclipse Temurin is already included in our Windows installation and the Docker container. On Linux, we do not include Java SE 17. You may want to use Java SE 17 provided by your operating system or install Eclipse Temurin.

Operating Systems

  • Windows: Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019 and 2012 R2

  • Linux: Linux x64 (tested on Ubuntu 22.04)
