Server Requirements

Self On-Premise Hosted

There are 3 components of HR Manage that must be hosted:

  1. Database
  2. Server Application
  3. Web Application

We generally recommend that the Database and the Server Application be hosted together because the Server Application acts as a gateway to the database. The Web Application and Client Applications all connect directly to the Server Application which in turn makes multiple calls to the database back-and-forth before returning a single result to the caller.

If a dedicated server is provided for HR Manage, you could also include the web application on the same server depending on whether the server will be public facing (in which case, additional security measures should be taken).

Processor & Memory

At minimum, we recommend a 2GHz processor and 4Gb of RAM.
If SQL Server is hosted on the same server, we recommend a faster processor with even more RAM.

Disk Space

We recommend 10Gb of free space to start off with, but this can grow depending on the functionality used by companies.

Operating System

Windows Server 2019 or newer is required.
For new servers, we recommend installing the latest Windows Server version available (Currently Windows Server 2025).

Database Platform

Microsoft SQL Server 2017 or newer is required.
For new servers, we recommend installing the latest SQL Server version available (Currently SQL Server 2025).

Any edition of SQL Server will work, including the free edition (SQL Server Express). For companies with thousands of employees or who extensively use the document management features, the free edition may not be realistically suitable.

Note that to use the free edition of Microsoft SQL Server Express, the server must only have one CPU. If SQL Express edition is used, we recommend 2025 or newer since it allows databases of up to 50gb in size.

.NET Framework

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 10 is required on all servers hosting any part of HR Manage.

For the web application, IIS 8 is also required.
