The following general requirements apply to the machine on which you install the Controller:

• The Controller should run on a dedicated machine. A production Controllermustrun on a dedicated machine. The requirements here assume that no other major processes are running on the machine where the Controller is installed, including no other Controllers.
• The Controller is not supported on machines that use Power Architecture processors, including PowerPC processors. The Controller is supported on amd64 / x86-64 architectures.
• Ensure that the Controller host has approximately 200 MB of free space available in the system temporary directory.
• Disk I/O is a key element to Controller performance, particularly low latency. See Disk I/O Requirements for more information.
