Spotfire® System Requirements

Spotfire Service for R 1.16

Spotfire Service for R version 1.16 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.
Note: Only amd64 (also known as x64, x86_64) architecture is supported.
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.

Software
Operating System
  • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®
    • 9 (Intel/AMD x64)
    • 8 (Intel/AMD x64)
  • Debian
    • 11 64-bit on x86-64

Spotfire software 12.5
Note:
  • You can install the service on a node manager running on a computer with an operating system (OS) that is different from that of your Spotfire Server.
  • All services belonging to the same Spotfire deployment area must run on node managers with the same OS.
Important: This service supports only one instance per node manager. If you set the instance value to other than 1, then the service does not work as expected.
Third-party software (TPS) components Included
  • Docker image (LINUX only; optional)
    • Tested: 19.03.13
    • Recommended: 19.03.13

    The service builds a default Docker image based on Debian, which is also available from Docker Hub. (The recommended Docker version, 19.03.13, was tested with debian:11-slim.)

    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.
Not included, required software The following open-source R versions:
  • 4.3
  • 4.2
  • 4.1
