• Cca 500 MB disk space for the application, additional 1 GB during deployment for temporary files; data storage disk space requirements highly depend on the number of structures, approximately 5 GB / 1 M structures

Hardware requirements, client side

• Standard office hardware that can run Java applets and a modern browser with JavaScript support with a decent performance

• At least 4 GB RAM suggested if large (> 10000 structures) SD files are processed during bulk upload
