  • Article

The following table shows the minimum hardware requirements for a computer running Windows Server AppFabric. In a production environment, the volume of traffic may dictate greater hardware requirements for your servers.

Component Minimum requirement

Computer and processor

A computer with an Intel Pentium-compatible CPU that is:

  • 1 GHz or higher for single processors

  • 900 MHz or higher for dual processors

  • 700 MHz or higher for quad processors

Hyper-threading and multi-core processors are supported.

AppFabric is supported on 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) operating systems.

The 64-bit versions of AppFabric require a 64-bit operating system running on an x64-based system. Computers based on CPUs that are compatible with the AMD64 (x86-64) and Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) processor architecture are considered x64-based systems.

AppFabric provides limited support for WOW mode.
