ArcGIS Enterprise Builder deploys ArcGIS Enterprise on a single machine on premises. The system and hardware requirements required to run ArcGIS Enterprise Builder are listed below. I
If you will be licensing ArcGIS Pro or Drone2Map for ArcGIS through your Portal for ArcGIS 10.8 organization, you will also need ArcGIS License Manager 2019.2 to configure licenses to specify which members can use these apps. See the Portal for ArcGIS administrator guide, License Manager reference guide, and the License Manager system requirements for more information.
Before implementing or upgrading using ArcGIS Enterprise Builder, review the deprecation notice to determine if your hardware and software components are still compatible with version 10.8. Also review all current system requirements of the individual product components. You can access this information from the ArcGIS Enterprise Installation Guides documentation.
Note:
ArcGIS Server requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributable (x64). Obtain the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 - 2019 file from the Microsoft site.
If the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributables are not already installed, running the ArcGIS Enterprise Builder setup.exe will install them for you. However, running the ArcGIS Enterprise Builder setup.msi directly will not install the redistributables. If the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributables (x64) are not already installed, running the setup.msi will fail to run ArcGIS Enterprise Builder.
Microsoft Windows operating system requirements
The following 64-bit operating systems satisfy the minimum operating system requirements. Support is not provided for 32-bit operating systems; the setup will only proceed if the operating system is 64 bit.
Machines with an underscore (_) in their names are not supported. Several widely used internet host name specifications have designated the underscore character as nonstandard. Although Windows allows you to use the underscore in a machine name, it can still cause problems when you interact with other servers and platforms. For this reason, ArcGIS Enterprise components will not install on servers that have an underscore in the host name.
| Supported operating systems | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2019 updates |
Windows Server 2016 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2019 updates |
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2019 updates |
Windows Server 2012 Standard and Datacenter (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2019 updates |
Prior and future updates or service packs on these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
Note:
Windows 10 and 8.1 are supported for basic testing and application development use only. They are not recommended for deployment in a production environment.
| Supported operating systems | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2019 updates |
Windows 8.1 Pro and Enterprise (64 bit [EM64T]) | Nov 2019 updates |
Hardware requirements
Disk space requirements
ArcGIS Enterprise Builder (Windows) requires 10 GB of free disk space on the system drive (often the C: drive), where setup files are staged and log files are written. Additionally, the builder requires 20 GB of free disk space on the installation drive, which you will specify during setup. This disk space is necessary for completing the initial installation of components and for the storage of data, logs, and configuration files as your base deployment expands. Most users need more than 20 GB of space on their installation drive; a production system should have 50 GB or more of free disk space.
Memory requirements
It is strongly recommended to have at least 16 GB of memory to install ArcGIS Enterprise Builder.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 support
ArcGIS Web Adaptor requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later in order to be installed. If your operating system includes Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, make sure it's enabled using Windows Features. If your operating system does not include Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, you can download it from the installation media and enable it using Windows Features.
Firewall settings
The components in a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment communicate on specific ports. You'll need to open these ports on your firewall before installing the software. See the following for information on the ports used by each component:
Supported web browsers
The ArcGIS Enterprise Configuration Wizard supports the following web browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
- Microsoft Edge
ArcGIS Enterprise on cloud platforms
You can deploy ArcGIS Enterprise on many cloud platforms. Any cloud platform that provides virtual machines that meet the basic system requirements for operating system and system specifications is supported for use with ArcGIS Enterprise.
In addition to basic support, Esri provides deployment tooling and prebuilt virtual machine images on two cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. When deploying on these two cloud platforms, it's recommended that you use the specialized tooling and images to simplify deployment and technical support.
Esri does not provide technical support for provisioning and configuring cloud infrastructure beyond what ArcGIS Enterprise deployment tooling creates and manages as part of its normal operations. For cloud platforms for which Esri does not provide specialized deployment tooling, support is limited to troubleshooting software-specific issues.
ArcGIS Enterprise also supports native cloud functionality such as storage and databases on several cloud platforms. Examples include Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Microsoft Azure SQL Database. See the documentation for each ArcGIS component for information on the native cloud functionality that's supported.
Supported virtualization environments
All components of ArcGIS Enterprise are fully supported on virtual environments as long as they run on supported operating systems. When running third-party applications with ArcGIS Enterprise, such as relational databases, the application must also be supported in a virtual environment. Check the third-party vendor for its virtualization support.
The following virtualization environments are known to perform well with ArcGIS Enterprise and its components:
- VMware vSphere 6.5, 6.7
- Microsoft Hyper-V
Inclusion on the above list does not imply an endorsement or higher level of support. A lack of inclusion on the above list does not imply that an environment or specific version is not supported, simply that it is not an environment or version that Esri or its partners have explicitly tested.
