NetResults Tracker System Requirements

NetResults Tracker software only needs to be installed on a single web server machine. Users (including the administrator) do not need to install any software on their desktop computers. They just need a supported web browser.

If you do not have a web server which meets the system requirements (or do not wish to maintain one), you can subscribe to the NetResults Tracker (NRT) Online service (where we maintain web servers with NetResults Tracker software for you).

If you plan to use virtualization software, the virtual machine must meet the System Requirements below. In addition, please review our recommendations for using Tracker with virtualization software.

Web Server Machine	Hardware	A 1.0 GHz single core processor is required. A 2.0 GHz (or faster) dual core processor is recommended. A minimum of 1 GB of RAM is required. 3 GB of RAM is recommended, more if the DBMS is on the same server. 75 MB of disk space to install NetResults Tracker with one workgroup, plus approximately 50 MB of disk space for each additional workgroup.

Please consult the Microsoft or Oracle documentation for database server hardware/software requirements.

Note: To evaluate NetResults Tracker without installing on your web server, request a Personal Live Trial and we will install on one of our servers for you (you can move your data in-house after the trial has completed). If you do not have a web server which meets the requirements above, you can subscribe to the NRT Online hosted service (we provide and maintain the web server for you). For both the Personal Live Trial and the NRT Online service, all you need is a web browser.

Additional Requirements for Submit via Email Add-On

If you plan to use the Submit via Email add-on (to report issues by sending an email), you must have a POP3 or IMAP mail server to store the emails that Tracker will process (this mail server software can be running on the same server as Tracker or on a different server). Further details on these requirements are available in the Adding Records via Email section of the NetResults Tracker Administration Guide. The Submit via Email add-on is available as a separately priced option.
