* The server is required only if the functionality is used
** The RPA component is installed on the environment mimicking business operations environment with all the applications required to complete the task(s).
VDS system requirements
- Unless stated otherwise, "Disk space" denotes the addressable space left on the single partition where you plan to install the software after the disk has been formatted with a filesystem.
- For the installation it is advised to use HDD/SDD volumes mounted separately from the root volume of the operating system.
- Recommended amount of Slaves may vary, maximum amount up to 10
VDS supports two types of installation:
- VDS Standalone: all VDS components (VDS Master + NFS Share + one VDS Slave) are installed and run on a single server.
- VDS Cluster: a combination of one VDS Master + one or more VDS Slaves. Smaller size machines can be used to stack up the required total capacity.
- VDS Cluster may have two variations:
- VDS Cluster with NFS share on VDS Master Server;
- VDS Cluster with NFS share on a separate server (NFS server provided by customer or NFS server provisioned by installer)
Use the following table to plan infrastracture capacity according to the desired installation type:
| Installation | Components | CPU | RAM (GB) | HDD (Addressable space, after formatting) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VDS Standalone | Master, Slave, NFS | 32 | 128 | 2 TB |
| VDS Cluster | Master, NFS | 8 | 32 | 2 TB |
| 3x Slaves | 8 | 32 | 250 GB | |
| VDS Cluster + separate NFS | NFS | 4 | 8 | 2 TB |
| Master | 8 | 32 | 250 GB | |
| 3x Slaves | 8 | 32 | 250 GB |
Virtualized environments
In addition to working on physical servers, all of WorkFusion’s products operate in virtualized environments, provided they are configured with the proper underlying operating system and minimum resource requirements. Known compatible virtualized environments: Citrix environments, Microsoft Hyper-V, Parallels, VMware vMotion, VMware vSphere, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure.
Capacity planning
The system requirements described are suitable for most of the typical automation projects.
For capacity and scaling planning, refer to the Infrastructure capacity planning guide.
