It is up to the end user how much space they want to allocate in their server to the Perceptor IoT Lifetime (i.e. On Premise) installation. A consideration is whether that server is also the primary database storage.

Most Perceptor end users start with a 1TB drive on their server but more or less than this may be allocated depending on how much data the database will store; this is linked directly to the amount of labels which will be printed.

As an example, one Perceptor Lifetime end user has used 500GB in storage over 2 years of using Perceptor on a daily basis. 

Our suggested minimum specification for the server is:

• 32GB RAM
• 2 x 1TB SSD RAID1
• 2.4GHz processor Intel Xeon or equivalent
• MSSQL 2019 or 2022
