  • The minimum amount of memory for installing the InfoSphere Information Server client tier is 2 GB.
  • The minimum amount of memory for installing the InfoSphere Information Server services and engine tiers on the same computer, or on separate computers, is 4 GB.

Memory requirements depend on the type of processing, the volume of parallel processing, the size and number of simultaneously running InfoSphere DataStage and InfoSphere QualityStage jobs, and the memory requirements of the operating system and other applications (such as relational databases).

Evaluate the following factors to determine the memory requirements for your system:

  • The number of InfoSphere Information Server product components on the same server
  • Other software on the same server
  • Performance requirements
  • Size and complexity of your configuration
  • Extent of activity and the number of concurrent clients that access your system
