Hardware requirements

The recommended minimum requirements for your workstation in order for it to run Sitecore Experience Platform on Docker are:

• RAM

  For the XP1 server topology, we recommend a developer workstation with 32GB of RAM.

  For the XM1 and XP0 server topologies, we recommend a developer workstation with a minimum of 16GB of RAM.

• CPU

  We recommend a quad-core processor or higher.

• Disk

  The Sitecore container images require approximately 25 GB free space. It is best practice to use SSD disks for optimal performance when downloading and running Docker containers. The type of disks used for SQL Server and Solr can also have a significant impact on performance.
