What are the system requirements?

Official system requirements will change from release to release, so always be sure to double-check here: https://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/SystemRequirements.html Most customers will have a good-performing environment when the Database Server has 4 CPU cores and 8-16Gb of RAM. For disc space make sure to plan for about 5x of your current dataset for archive server capacity (e.g., if you currently have 100Gb of data you plan to store in the PDM vault, make sure your Archive Server has at least 500Gb capacity).
