System requirements

 

Successful Marine (ex-Successful Marina) can be hosted locally (on your own premises, on your own Windows Server), or on the Cloud (on the Cloud Servers of Successful Software): for more information about these two options, please click here.
 
In case you prefer to host Successful Marine locally (on your own premises - your own Windows Server), it requires the following hardware and software:
 

 Successful Marine Client (workstation) minimum system requirements:

  • Intel CPU Core i5 / 1.6 GHz (CPU Core i7 and above is recommended)
  • 4 GB RAM DDR4 (6 GB RAM is recommended)
  • 5 GB free hard disk space (SSD disk (NVMe or NVMe M.2))
  • Colour Monitor with at least 1600 x 1200 resolution
  • 1 (or more) Laser or InkeJet printers (for invoicing and reports)
  • Optical wheel mouse (to zoom in-zoom out the Visual Management plan of your business premises)
  • Internet Connection (2 Mbps for technical support)
  • Antivirus & Firewall
  • Online UPS (that will be connected via a cable with the computer and will send a signal to shutdown the computer gracefully in case of a power outage)
  • Windows 7 Professional (64bit)/8.1 Professional (64bit)/10 Professional (64bit) (recommended)/11 Professional (64bit)

 

 Successful Marine Server minimum system requirements:

  • Xeon Quad Core 3.2 GHz (1 CPU)
  • 12 GB RAM
  • 50 GB free hard disk space (SSD disk or SSD NVMe M.2 disk (recommended). In case you want to use HDD, please make sure that it operates at 7200 rpm or more)
  • Colour Monitor with at least 1600 x 1200 resolution
  • Mouse
  • Internet Connection (2 Mbps for technical support)
  • Antivirus & Firewall
  • Online UPS (that will be connected via a cable with the computer and will send a signal to shutdown the computer gracefully in case of a power outage)
  • Windows Server 2019 Essentials 64bit  (or any other Edition higher than this) 

Note: the above Server has to be a physical machine (not a Virtual Machine) that will be dedicated for the operation of the Successful Marine Server only. If you plan to deploy your Server on a Virtual Machine (VM) then we strongly advice you to get a faster CPU and at least twice the GB of RAM described above. These minimum hardware requirements assume that the Server will only host the Successful Marine Server and its Data Base: not host (as a Terminal Server, Remote Desktop Gateway, Exchange Server, Database Server, etc) Client Machines (Workstations) of the Successful Marine or any other application.

You do not need a Server if you select the Successful Marine Cloud (Successful Marine Cloud is hosted on Cloud Servers, on the Internet. Click here to read our Privacy Policy regarding your data on the Cloud.

Your Successful Marine Clients must be connected to your Switch via a "Cat-6" or "Cat-6a" Ethernet Cable (Cat-7 Cable is recommended). Connections of your Successful Marine Clients to your Successful Marine Server, via WiFi, are possible but are not guaranteed and therefore are not recommended as their speeds and quality tend to be unreliable. The PING (eg C:\> ping 192.168.1.200) between a Successful Marine Client and your Successful Marine Server must not exceed the 4 milliseconds (4ms) time. Your network must be stable at all times.
