System Requirements

Cortex is a lightweight application. Its system requirements are mainly driven by the size of your database - the larger the database, the more powerful your SQL Server and application server should be.

SQL Server​

  • Use the same version of SQL Server your source database was running on. If you are unsure, SQL Server 2022 is a safe default.
  • Follow SQL Server's recommended specs for memory and CPU based on your database size.
  • Ensure there is enough disk space for the OS, SQL Server, and your full database.
  • Full-Text Search must be enabled during SQL Server installation.
  • Both SQL Server authentication and Windows authentication are supported.

Application Server​

  • Windows Server 2019 or later
  • Minimum 4 GB RAM and 2 CPUs (increase based on load and database size)
  • IIS with WebSockets support enabled
  • No .NET runtime installation required - it is bundled with Cortex

Clients​

  • All modern browsers on all modern operating systems are supported.
  • Cortex is not mobile-optimized but does function on mobile devices.
