This section describes the minimum and recommended requirements to install and run Collaborator server, as well as some steps that it is prudent to take before attempting to install Collaborator.
Server Requirements
Please ensure that you meet or exceed the following requirements to run the current version of Collaborator server.
Configuration for servers with 20 or fewer concurrent users:
| • | Modern processor with 2 cores, 2.5Ghz or better. 64-bit platform is required for document reviews. |
| • | 100GB free storage space |
| • | Windows, Linux, Solaris or BSD
(If Windows, must be a server edition, not workstation edition) On Windows Server 2008, you need to install OpenJDK or Oracle JRE beforehand.
On *nix platforms, you may need to install Microsoft's TrueType core fonts in order to render Web UI correctly. |
Configuration for servers with 50 or fewer concurrent users:
| • | Modern server class processors with at least 4 cores in total, 2.5Ghz or better. 64-bit platform is required for document reviews. |
| • | 12GB free RAM. We recommend increasing the memory available to Collaborator server (instructions here) |
| • | 100GB free storage space |
| • | Windows, Linux, or Solaris
(If Windows, must be a server edition, not workstation edition) On Windows Server 2008, you need to install OpenJDK or Oracle JRE beforehand.
On *nix platforms, you may need to install Microsoft's TrueType core fonts in order to render Web UI correctly. |
| • | Low latency link to database server |
| • | Access from all possible clients to server port without a proxy |
| • | Some kind of drive backup hardware (Example: RAID 0) |
Configuration for servers with 100 or fewer concurrent users:
| • | Modern server class processors with at least 8 cores in total, 2.5Ghz or better. 64-bit platform is required for document reviews. |
| • | 16GB free RAM. We recommend increasing the memory available to Collaborator server (instructions here) |
| • | 100GB free storage space |
| • | Windows, Linux, or Solaris

For servers with greater than 100 concurrent users, please contact our support team so that they can help with your implementation plan.
Note: Actual performance of your Collaborator server could vary depending on particular hardware, software and network configuration, number of review participants, number and type of materials and so on. The recommendations above are provided as a starting point.
Preparing your Collaborator server
| • | Install the latest stable build of supported Java version. |
| • | Create a database user with permission to connect via TCP/IP from Collaborator server. |
| • | Create an empty schema on database server in which aforementioned database user can create, alter, read, write, update, and delete tables. |
| • | Make sure that you have access to your intended server port (default 8080) through any firewall you may use. |
| • | If you intend to use LDAP or Active Directory for authentication, please review the relevant section of our manual. You may need to ask your LDAP or Active Directory administrator to create a dedicated user for the Collaborator server. |
