2.8 Hardware and Software Requirements

It is important that you review the hardware and software requirements for the servers and devices for use with Identity Governance.

2.8.1 Identity Governance Server System Requirements

This section provides the minimum requirements for the server(s) where you want to install Identity Governance.

These system requirements provide server settings according to the size of your Identity Governance catalog. In a small catalog, you might collect fewer than 100,000 identities with 100,000 permissions and 80,000 groups.

If you are running virtual machines, set up the VM as Thick Provisioned.
