Chapter 7. Hardware and Software Requirements

Consider the following minimum hardware requirements when deploying Postgres Pro AXE:

  • 4 CPU cores

  • RAM: 16 GB

  • Disk space: 100 GB

It is recommended to allocate at least 6 GB of RAM per one CPU core.

Postgres Pro AXE cannot operate on virtual machines without vector CPU instructions, in particular SSE2. Before installing the solution, ensure that the target VMs support the required instructions.

Example 7.1. 

To view available vector CPU instructions on operating systems similar to Debian, execute the following command:

  grep -Eow "sse2|sse4_2" /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u

At least the sse2 CPU instruction must be in the command output. However, sse4_2 is recommended for better performance.


Operating systems supported for the x86-64 architecture:

  • Debian 13

  • Ubuntu 24.04

  • Red OS 8

  • Astra Linux 1.8

  • ALT 11

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10

When using Postgres Pro AXE as an option to Postgres Pro DBMS, Postgres Pro Enterprise version 17.10 is required.
