For hardware capacity planning, LTi uses an historical model of database backup size to plan for future growth. This projection is usually configured for 1-, 2-, and 3-year growth, but can be configured depending on individual business requirements.
An initial capacity plan is determined in collaboration with LTi’s Client Services team by the number of accounts (customers, vendors, guarantors, etc.), number of contracts, and number of assets in the system. Capacity planning will also take into consideration the use of the document repository, where documents are stored on the file system of the web service server instead of in the database.
Building upon the minimum limitations below, each client's recommended server setup will be determined during ASPIRE's project implementation.

*SQL Server should be set to Compatibility Level = 2012
It is recommended by Microsoft that Application and Database servers be on the same OS version. Example: Server 2022 and SQL 2022.
= Support versions are subject to change
Compatibility is not dependent on service pack levels unless specified above. If specified, the service pack indicated is the lowest acceptable level.
ASPIRE Windows Client - LTi does not test with or support “Home” or “Starter” editions of any of the client operating systems.
Supported - Functional application changes may not work correctly, or at all, on unsupported systems.
+ASPIRE 5.20 requires SQL Server 2016 SP 2
