Catherine
  • Updated

SquaredUp web server

  • x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (or above), 2012, 2016 or 2019.
  • .NET Framework 4.7.2 * (To install this the server needs an internet connection, so if the server is offline, you should download and install .NET 4.7.2 from here.)
  • Windows IIS Web- roles *
  • IIS URL Rewrite Module 2.0 *

Items marked with * will be automatically installed if required.

Co-hosting

  • Can be installed on a Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) management server or root management server.
  • Can be installed on the same web server as the Operations Manager web consoles.

System Center Operations Manager

The SCOM management server must be running Operations Manager 2012, 2012 SP1 or R2, 2016, 1801, 1807 or 2019. Operations Manager 2007 is not supported.

Server Sizing Guidelines

SquaredUp has no defined minimum requirements for installation, the following specifications are a guideline on how you may wish to set up your environment.

Environment SquaredUp Users Servers monitored by SCOM CPU Memory Azure Equivalent Load Balanced Instances
Small Lab <10 <100 1 2 GB Standard A1 v2 1
Small Production <10 100 - 1000 2 4 GB Standard A2 v2 1
Large Production 10 - 100 1000 - 5000 4 8 GB Standard A4 v2 2
Very Large Production >100 5000 - 15000 8 16 GB Standard A8 v2 2 or More


When using Open Access we recommend an additional 100 MB memory for each dashboard that is enabled for Open Access (regardless of how many clients are connecting to the Open Access dashboard).
