Server Requirements

This page outlines the hardware, software, and network requirements for running a Situate server.

Supported Operating Systems

Situate server runs on popular Linux distributions including:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, 8, 9
• CentOS 7, 8
• Rocky Linux 8, 9
• Ubuntu Server 18.04, 20.04, 22.04
• Oracle Linux 7, 8, 9

Hardware Requirements

Minimum Requirements

For evaluation and small deployments (up to 100 assets and 1,000 workflows):

Resource	Minimum
CPU	4 cores at 2.6 GHz or greater
Memory	4 GB
Disk Space	60 GB

Recommended Requirements

For production deployments with moderate workloads:

Resource	Recommended
CPU	8 cores at 2.6 GHz or greater
Memory	16 GB
Disk Space	200 GB

Large Deployments

For enterprise deployments with thousands of assets and workflows, contact Xona Software for sizing guidance.

Network Requirements

Ports

The Situate server requires the following ports:

Port	Protocol	Purpose
14000	TCP	Agent and UI communication
14001	TCP	Web interface (HTTP)
14002	TCP	Web interface (HTTPS)

DNS

By convention, Situate uses a DNS alias formed by prepending "sit-" to the domain name. For example, if your domain is "acmeprod", create a DNS alias "sit-acmeprod" pointing to your server.

Virtual Machines

Situate can run on virtual machines hosted on-premise or in the cloud, including:

• VMware vSphere
• Microsoft Hyper-V
• AWS EC2
• Azure Virtual Machines
• Google Compute Engine

Security Considerations

If your organization uses Active Directory, install and configure SSSD or Winbind and join your Linux server to the domain before installing Situate. The installation process will detect your security settings and configure authentication automatically.
