Chapter 13. Hardware and Software Requirements

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

  • For installing the Postgres Pro AXE DBMS:

    • 1 GHz CPU

    • RAM: 1 GB

    • Disk space: 1 GB

    Note

    Postgres Pro AXE supports using Postgres Pro Enterprise 17.7.1 and 17.9.2 as the DBMS.

  • For processing the OLAP workload:

    • 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 13.1. 

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
