Breezy System Requirements – Breezy Support

Background

This page provides canonical system requirements for Breezy servers. Prerequisites for specific servers will vary (e.g., Microsoft Office for Rendering Engines, IIS for Buffers, etc.) but all servers should be built from this baseline.

Please note that hardware requirements listed here are the minimum requirement. Your deployment may require more resources than listed here, depending on configuration and throughput.

Base Server Requirements

OS	Windows Server 2016 (2012 R2 can technically be used for everything except Rendering Engines, but 2016 is recommended across the board, and strictly required for Rendering Engines.)
CPU	2 vCPUs or more
RAM	8 GB or more
Storage	100 GB or more
Network	Unrestricted outbound access to *.breezy.com via Port 443 if using Cloud or Hybrid deployment models (if On-Premise, talk to Breezy support and your network team about optimal routing).

Deployment Models and Servers Required

Note: 2x redundancy can and should be configured for all production / HA environments.

See Achieving High Availability with Native Clustering in Breezy for more detail.

Deployment Model	Servers Required
Cloud	Connector
Hybrid	Required for all Hybrid Deployments: Connector Rendering Engine Optional Extras: Processing Engine Buffer Beacon
On-Premise	Connector Rendering Engine Processing Engine Buffer Beacon Queuing Server API Controller Database Engine (MySQL or MSSQL)

Server Preparation Steps

Server Type	Pre-Installation Preparation Steps
Connector	Enable Print Server role on host Install any print queues you want this Connector to surface via Breezy
Rendering Engine	Install required third-party software and configure accounts
Processing Engine	n/a
Beacon	Prepare an SSL/TLS Certificate with the desired hostname Install Web Server role and the following Role Services: .NET Extensibility (4.6 or greater) ASP ASP.NET (4.6.1 or greater) ISAPI Extensions ISAPI Filters
Queueing Server	Prepare an SSL/TLS Certificate with the desired hostname Install Web Server role and the following Role Services: .NET Extensibility (4.6 or greater) ASP ASP.NET (4.6.1 or greater) ISAPI Extensions ISAPI Filters
API Controller	Prepare an SSL/TLS Certificate with the desired hostname Install Web Server role and the following Role Services: Basic Authentication .NET Extensibility (4.6 or greater) ASP ASP.NET (4.6.1 or greater) ISAPI Extensions ISAPI Filters
