Applies to XPRESS EDITION

Bizagi Xpress system requirements

The following requirements correspond to Bizagi's Xpress edition approach and features.

View the article about the differences between Bizagi editions or Bizagi editions' features comparison table.

Production environment

In the Production environment, Bizagi can be set up with the following recommended minimum requirements as illustrated below:

Number of BPM Servers: 1.
BPM Server	HARDWARE	NUMBER OF PROCESSORS	1.
		PROCESSOR	2 cores Suggested: Xeon dual-core of 2.66GHz.
		RAM	8 GB
		HARD DISK	40 GB of free space
	SOFTWARE	OPERATING SYSTEM	Windows Server 2008 R2 - 32 or 64 bits Windows Server 2008 - 32 or 64 bits Windows Server 2003 SP1 - 32 bits
	SOFTWARE	WEB SERVER	IIS 5.0 or higher

Number of Database Servers: 1.
Database Server	HARDWARE	NUMBER OF PROCESSORS	1.
		PROCESSOR	2 cores Suggested: Xeon dual-core of 2.66GHz.
		RAM	8 GB
		HARD DISK	80 GB of free space
	SOFTWARE	DATABASE ENGINE	Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 or higher Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 or higher In case you do not have any of them installed, Bizagi's installation gives the option to install an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 SP2. Take into account that it is required that the Database engine version, service pack, and collation installed in the Production environment corresponds to the same one as the one installed in the Development and Test environment.

End Users	HARDWARE	PROCESSOR	Pentium IV of 2GHz compatible processor or higher
		RAM	2 GB
		HARD DISK	10 GB of free space
		SCREEN RESOLUTION	1024 x 768 or higher
	SOFTWARE	BROWSER	Internet Explorer 7, 8 or 9 FireFox 3.5

Take into account that the hardware requirements for a Production environment will also depend on other variables such as: the number of concurrent users, the processing demands, the expected database and file growth, amongst others.
Therefore, the recommended minimum requirements and configurations presented in this article may be complemented by carrying out an analysis related to the dimension of the specific project.
For your consideration, you may choose to have the Production environment use a single server for the BPM and Database components.

Production environment with Internet Access

For projects in which end users need to access the work portal via internet, an optional Apache Server can be configured as a reverse proxy in a DMZ, in order to allow secure internet access to Bizagi's projects:

Development environment

In the Development environment (a construction phase of the project), Bizagi can be set up with the following recommended minimum requirements, and in a way that team work is supported for the whole project team:

Test environment

In the Test environment, Bizagi can be set up with the following recommended minimum requirements as illustrated below:

Number of BPM Servers: 1.
BPM Server	HARDWARE	NUMBER OF PROCESSORS	1.
		PROCESSOR	2 cores Suggested: Xeon dual-core of 2.66GHz.
		RAM	8 GB
		HARD DISK	40 GB of free space
	SOFTWARE	OPERATING SYSTEM	Windows Server 2008 R2 - 32 or 64 bits Windows Server 2008 - 32 or 64 bits Windows Server 2003 SP1 - 32 bits
	SOFTWARE	WEB SERVER	IIS 5.0 or higher

Number of Database Servers: 1.
Database Server	HARDWARE	NUMBER OF PROCESSORS	1.
		PROCESSOR	2 cores Suggested: Xeon dual-core of 2.66GHz.
		RAM	8 GB
		HARD DISK	80 GB of free space
	SOFTWARE	DATABASE ENGINE	Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 or higher Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 or higher In case you do not have any of them installed, Bizagi's installation gives the option to install an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 SP2. Take into account that it is required that the Database engine version, service pack, and collation installed in the Test environment corresponds to the same one as the one installed in the Development environment.

End Users	HARDWARE	PROCESSOR	Pentium IV of 2GHz compatible processor or higher
		RAM	2 GB
		HARD DISK	10 GB of free space
		SCREEN RESOLUTION	1024 x 768 or higher
	SOFTWARE	BROWSER	Internet Explorer 7, 8 or 9 FireFox 3.5

Notice that you may choose to use the same Development environment servers for your Test environment, as there would be no restrictions for this decision.
However it is not the recommended set up and the Test environment servers' specifications (hardware and software) should be as similar as possible to the Production environment servers' specifications in order to properly test the processes behaviour and performance.
