Spotfire® System Requirements

Spotfire Service for Python 1.0 LTS

Spotfire Service for Python version 1.0 system requirements and third-party compatibility information are listed here.

Hardware
Processor
  • Minimum: 4 cores (Intel Core i3 or equivalent), 2 GHz, 64-bit.
  • Recommended: 8 cores or more (Intel Xeon E5 or equivalent), 2 GHz or higher, 64-bit.
Note: The system default is one engine fewer than the number of cores. You can add cores to accommodate additional engines.
RAM
  • Minimum: 8 GB.
  • Recommended: 16 GB.
Note: The minimum amount of RAM is suitable for only basic test systems, or systems with very few simultaneous users. Production servers with large analyses or many simultaneous users require significantly more RAM. Contact TIBCO for further assistance with this.
Hard disk space
  • Minimum: 12 GB.
  • Recommended: 25 GB.
Note: For production environments, we strongly advise that you deploy each of the different types of Spotfire services on separate, dedicated computers (physical computers, virtual machines, or containers).

If you still decide to deploy different services on the same computer (for example, for testing purposes), you must manage the resource allocation of the processes so they do not conflict with each other.

    Important: You cannot modify the image we provide. You can provide another prebuilt image. Check Docker Hub for an image that might work for you.
