(2022.0.0) Hardware Requirements | Cyclone ENTERPRISE

Server Specifications

CPU

Cyclone ENTERPRISE’s scalability for concurrent users accessing (any) project(s) is related to the quantity of CPU cores. Please see Server Configurations & Scalability for more information.

For customers who anticipate many concurrent TruView LIVE users at any given time, accessing projects within the server via browsers, we recommend a system of 24 or 32 physical cores.

Note: Cloud services may use “virtual cores” which are NOT the equivalent of a physical core.

For customers who anticipate more desktop application work (e.g., with the CloudWorx suite), and few TruView LIVE concurrent users, lower core counts will suffice.

Speed of CPU’s cores has an additional impact on performance latency. We recommend a minimum of 2.5 GHz per core, but higher speed such as 4 GHz are preferable. 

GPU

A GPU which supports OpenGL is required to run Cyclone ENTERPRISE. 
OpenGL versions 4.x or newer is required.
If you are using a cloud service provider (e.g., AWS), please be sure to select an instance that includes a GPU.

HDD

For optimal performance, SSDs are recommended for all project storage locations
Storage locations must be visible to the server as mounted drives (i.e., at this time we do not support cloud-based storage options like AWS S3)

A minimum 1 TB is required for installation (but does not include any project storage allocation).

Network 

On-premise solutions should support at least 1Gbps (recommended 10Gbps) ethernet speeds.
For cloud deployments (e.g., AWS), we recommend instances with 50 or 100 Gbps of high throughout.

Memory

It is recommended to have 10 GB or higher of RAM per TruView LIVE session. This memory requirement is the same for both cloud and local deployment.

Specifications for viewing TruView LIVE Sessions

Leica TruView LIVE is a browser client that is integrated into Cyclone ENTERPRISE. The TruView LIVE rendering is handled on the server, that is why a GPU is required for the Cyclone ENTERPRISE server. On the other hand, the client machine viewing the TruView LIVE does not need a high-performance graphics card. Any reasonable system will be able to handle the TruView LIVE session efficiently. 

TruView LIVE can be accessed from any device including laptops, desktops, tablets, or smartphones that are able to run the supported browsers.  

Specifications for Applications Connecting to Cyclone ENTERPRISE

The client machine requirements for connecting to the Cyclone ENTERPRISE from consuming product such as Leica TruView, CloudWorx plugins for CAD applications, Leica Map360, Cyclone 3DR, Pointfuse, Verity, Rithm, etc., is same as the specification required by the products. The product datasheet or catalog should be referenced for details.
