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

Multi-Node Clusters
Recommended minimum sizing stated above applies to each node in a multi-node cluster.
Warning

SAN 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:
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.
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.
