Review the table below to determine the system requirements needed to run HRPro
It's important to note that these are minimum requirements, and the actual system requirements may vary depending on the size of the database, the number of users, and the specific features and functions being used.
To optimize system performance and security, it is recommended that the HRPro database be hosted on a dedicated SQL Server instance, rather than sharing resources with other applications. This approach offers several key benefits:
Security: Isolating the database reduces exposure to potential vulnerabilities from other applications sharing the same SQL instance.
Performance: Dedicated resources mean fewer chances of conflicts or slowdowns caused by unrelated workloads.
Maintainability: Easier backups, upgrades, and troubleshooting without interfering with other applications.
Scalability: Future expansion or changes can be managed independently.
* SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines is supported but Azure SQL Databases is not supported as it is lack of cross database processing and Common Language Runtime.
Recommendation of an all-in-one (application server + database server + web server) server:
CPU of i3/5/7 or Xeon, 16GB RAM, 200GB Hard Disk space, preferably with 2 hard disks in RAID-1 (disk mirroring) setting.
Windows Server License Required: Windows Server of latest or 2nd latest version (64-bit)
Database Server License Required: No (just the free Microsoft SQL Server Express or Standard Edition of latest or 2nd latest version)
Recommendation for 3 separate servers if budget allows for best performance as shown in HRPro Network Diagram
1. Database Server
Processor: 2GHz
Memory: 8GB
Hard Disk space: 100GB - 200GB
2. Application Server (for Web Client)
Processor: 2GHz
Memory: 8GB
Hard Disk space: min. 100GB
3. Employee Portal Application Server
Processor: 2GHz
Memory: 8GB
Hard Disk space: min. 100GB
To use Employee Portal, you need:
SQL Server with HRPro database installed on the network and is accessible by Employee Portal Server
Operating system and software: A 32-bit/64-bit version of Microsoft® Windows® Server™ 2012 Standard or Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2 or later.
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 or later
Browser Supported: the two latest released versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 or above (should be supplied by Windows Server 2019 or above)
ASP.NET
For Email Integration: To send emails, you need an SMTP server. If you have the ability to send Internet emails, you probably already have one of these somewhere.
Server Hardware: Most modern Intel servers will be fine. We recommend 2 GB of memory for optimal performance. Do not run Employee Portal on a server which is also running large enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Sharepoint.
Running IIS on the domain controller is not recommended.
If Employee Portal is opened to the Internet, proper network infrastructure and security control are required.
