Cloud/SAAS
Please note that this page describes the server requirements if you elect to run Fitrix on your premise based server or via private hosting. Fitrix is also available in a Cloud/Software-As-A-Service (SAAS) model which does not require any server.
Server Hardware Requirements
The following specifications are the minimum recommended for a physical or virtual server that will support up to the indicated number of users for a typical Fitrix ERP implementation. A useful system life of 3-5 years is anticipated. Hardware resources of less than those recommended below may provide more than adequate performance for some implementations; however, growth should be considered. Another factor not comprehensively addressed by these recommendations is upgrade capability. Remember that hardware technology and prices change rapidly and these recommendations are based on readily-available products on the date this document was last updated.

Notes
- The standard Fitrix ERP license is limited to a maximum of 2 dual core processors or 1 quad core processor on the physical or virtual server (see full details on the “complete Linux server requirements” link below). Additional licensing fees apply beyond these limits.
- RAM is inexpensive and can improve system performance by adding more than the recommended value.
- No need for high-end graphics card for Linux console.
Server Operating System Requirements
Fitrix is supported on a native Linux Server or can be shipped as a ready to use pre-installed VMware virtual environment that can be hosted on a Windows server or any Intel based server that supports VMware (Windows, Linux, ESX, ESXi)
