Before installing Magic Collaboration StudioTeamwork Cloud, make sure that the system requirements described in this chapter are met.

Note
titleCassandra installation

Magic Collaboration Studio Teamwork Cloud requires Cassandra installation. To learn more about the hardware requirements for Cassandra, see https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/cassandra/operating/hardware.html

Recommended system requirements

System requirements are dictated by the intended deployment, taking into account the overall load which the environment will experience including:

  • Number of concurrent users
  • Level of activity (commits) per day
  • Overall number and size of the projects stored in Teamwork Cloud.

The database (Cassandra) can be located on the same server as Magic Collaboration Studio or Teamwork Cloud or on a separate server.   Storage requirements apply only to the node where the database is located. Magic Collaboration Studio hosting nodes Teamwork Cloud hosting nodes can be virtualized without any issues if the host is not oversubscribed on its resources.

Nodes containing both Magic Collaboration Studio and CassandraTeamwork Cloud and Cassandra:

  • 96 -128 GB ECC RAM
  • >=16 processor threads (such as E5-1660)
  • >1TB SSD DAS storage

Nodes containing only Cassandra:

  • 48 - 64 GB ECC RAM
  • >=8 processor threads (such as E5-1620)
  • >1TB SSD DAS storage

Nodes containing only Magic Collaboration Studioonly Teamwork Cloud:

  • 48 - 64 GB ECC RAM
  • >=8 processor threads (such as E5-1620)
  • >250GB storage


Info
titleMulti-Node Clusters

Recommended minimum sizing stated above applies to each node in a multi-node cluster.

Warning
titleSAN Storage

SAN Storage should not be used on Cassandra nodes for data or commit log volumes. This will result in severe performance degradation. There is no amount of SAN tuning and OS tuning which could mitigate this.

Hardware requirements


Minimal hardware requirements

For adequate Teamwork Cloud operation, your hardware should meet the following requirements:

  • 8 Processor Cores - i.e. Quad-Core Hyper-threaded CPU (such as Intel E3-1230 or faster).
  • 32 GB RAM (Motherboard with an ECC RAM is recommended) and 8 GB RAM dedicated for TeamworkCloud
  • At least 3 separate disks, preferably SSD (NVMe), (OS/Application, Data, and Commit logs). Depending on company backup procedures and infrastructure, an additional disk, equal to the data disk in size, may be required for storing the backup snapshots.

  • Cassandra 3.11.x.
  • OpenJDK 1.8.0_202 or later used with Cassandra (or Oracle Java). Java 1.8 updated later than 251 cannot be used with Cassandra on the Windows platform.
  • OpenJDK 11.0.12 used with Teamwork Cloud.
  • FlexNet License Server.


Software requirements

Teamwork Cloud supports  the following operating systems:

  • Linux (RedHat/RedHat 8/CentOS 7), 64 bit.
  • Windows 2016 or Windows 2019.
Info
titleOperating Systems

We recommend using the Linux operating system. For more information, please visit https://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/cassandra-and-windows-past-present-and-future.

For a full working environment, you will also need:

  • OpenJDK (Eclipse Temurin™ by ADOPTIUM) 11.0.14.1+1 or Oracle Java 11 (for Cassandra 4.0.x)
  • Open JDK 11.0.12 (for Teamwork Cloud)
  • FlexNet license server
  • Cassandra 4.0.x series
  • A a static IP address for each node.
  • Open ports 1101, 2181, 2552, 7000, 7001, 7199, 9042, 9160, 9142 between servers in a cluster.

  • Open ports 3579, 8111, 8443, 8555 and 10002 (default) to for clients. Port The port number 10002 can be changed according to the port assigned to secure connections between the client software and Teamwork Cloud.

Software requirements

Supported operating systems:

  • Linux (RedHat/CentOS 7), 64 bit.
  • Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2016, or Windows 2019.

Info
titleIf deploying on Amazon EC2
In the case of deploying on Amazon EC2, we recommend using the m5-2xlarge, r5-2xlarge, or i3-2xlarge instances.  Depending on the workloads, you may want to go to the -4xlarge instances, but for the vast majority of users, the -2xlarge will suffice. The m5 instances meet the minimum system requirements and will be acceptable for small deployments. The r5 instances provide more memory for the same CPU density. The i3 instances should be used when workloads have a higher level of user concurrency due to the significantly improved performance of the ephemeral NVMe storage.
