Platform Deployment Guide › Requirements › Policy Engine Host Machines

Policy Engine Host Machines

The following are requirements for policy engine host machines:

Operating System

Policy engines are included in the server.msi and server_x64.msi installation packages.

Disk space

The host machine needs sufficient memory to cache all ‘effective’ user policies.

See Host Machine Memory.

CA Data Protection server

The host machine must be the CMS or a gateway server.

For best performance, we recommend a gateway.

PE domain user

The PE domain user must belong to the local Administrators group on the policy engine host machine.

See PE domain user.

For complete information on the platforms, operating systems, database products, and the supported versions, see the CA Data Protection 15.0 Compatibility Matrix.
