1. Requirements
1.1. Supported Operating Systems
RHEL/CentOS 7 / 8
SuSE SLES 15
Ubuntu 18 / 20 LTS
Debian 9 / 10
Since THOR also runs on Windows and macOS operating systems, THOR Thunderstorm can also be used on one of these platforms but without any support.
1.2. License Requirements
A valid service license is needed to use THOR Thunderstorm. Please see Get a Service License for more information.
1.3. Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements highly depend on the number of samples per minute that the service has to process.
In cases in which only a few samples per minute have to be processed, even a dual core barebone system could be enough. However, in cases in which thousands of samples per minute should be processed, we recommend having a high amount of CPU cores, a decent amount of RAM and an SSD as disk for a faster processing of queued samples.
