Hardware requirements
This section provides the hardware sizing recommendations for different installation profiles. For specific hardware requirements, review the installation profiles to determine which profile best fits the number of inventoried client computers and mobile devices in the environment. All profiles described in this document refer to resources dedicated to Snow Software environments without third-party systems or software (other than OS and SQL Server) running on the same hardware.
These requirements are applicable for Snow License Manager, Snow Inventory Server, and Snow Integration Manager.
