For more information how to calculate the needs of your company in hardware please read Choosing server-side hardware for 1C:Enterprise system.

Please note: Choosing the On-Premises version of AccountingSuite means you are choosing to act as your own data center. It requires a budget not just for our software license, but for competent IT staff and reliable server hardware.

Please ensure you have the right team and skills in place before installation. If you are unsure about any of the points above, our Cloud AccountingSuite solution is the safer and more reliable path for your business.

User’s computer/laptop for On-premise or Cloud AccountingSuite #

• Intel Pentium / Celeron / Core i3 or AMD Athlon / Ryzen processor 2700 MHz and higher
• RAM 4 GB and above
• Free space on HDD/SSD 10GB and above
• Monitor with a minimum resolution of 1366×768 or 1280×800 pixels

Operating system for On-premise

Web browser for Cloud version

Servers requirements #

64-bit 1C:Enterprise server #

• Processor with x86-64 architecture (Intel with Intel 64 support, AMD with AMD64 support) 2.4 GHz or higher. It is advisable to use multi-processor or multi-core machines
• RAM 4 GB or higher free memory
• Hard drive 40GB or higher

Database server #

The technical characteristics of the computer and operating system must meet the requirements of your DBMS (database management system): Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Oracle Database.

The choice of a DBMS for the on-premise version depends on the competencies of the company’s employees. And the desire to save money on open-source databases. If you have a ready-made specialist who will confidently provide work on PostgreSQL, then you can choose it for the Windows Server or Linux operating system. If there are no such people and someone knows only MS SQL + Windows, then the choice is obvious.
The system administrator must ensure the smooth operation of the company’s server and take care of data backups.
Our AccountingSuite can work with PostgreSQL and MS SQL. The selection criterion here is on the side of the company’s specialists. What do they know? From this is what needs to be chose.

Recommendation for AccountingSuite server #

1C:Enterprise server + Database server can be on the same server. Sufficient for comfortable work of up to 100 users:

• Processor with x86-64 architecture: 8 cores (16 threads) from 3.5GHz
• RAM 32 GB
• Hard drive 500GB NVMe SSD M.2 or SSD with additional external backup disk
• Windows Server + MS SQL / Linux + PostgreSQL / Windows Server + PostgreSQL – it’s up to your specialist’s competencies
• If you plan to work your employees via RDP on the same server, then add additional resources for this, based on the number of employees (additional processor cores and RAM). Each RDP session will consume 2-6Gb RAM, depending on what other programs your employees will run.

More information for technical specialists can be found in the article Choosing server-side hardware for 1C:Enterprise system.

Required Competencies of System Administrator for On-Premises #

Running an On-Premises enterprise application in Server-Mode is a complex task. It requires a dedicated professional (or a team) with the following skills — a role we call the System Administrator. This person must be on your team.

Your System Administrator is responsible for the “invisible” but critical layer that keeps the software alive. This includes expertise in:

• Server Hardware & Virtualization:
  • Setting up and maintaining physical servers or virtual machines (Hyper-V, VMware, etc.).
  • Ensuring sufficient CPU, RAM, and disk I/O performance for the client-server mode.
• Operating System Administration (Windows Server/Linux):
  • Installing and securing the OS.
  • Managing user access rights at the OS level.
  • Configuring firewalls and network security.
• Database Administration (MSSQL/PostgreSQL):
  • Installing and tuning the Database Management System (DBMS).
  • Setting up and monitoring regular backups. (Data loss due to backup failure is solely a hardware/infrastructure issue).
  • Performance optimization at the database level.
• Backup and Disaster Recovery:
  • Implementing a reliable backup strategy.
  • Testing data restoration procedures.
  • Managing backup storage (separate from the main server).
• Networking:
  • Configuring company routers and switches for stable internal access.
  • Setting up secure remote access (VPN) if employees work from home.

Note: In a typical setup, these responsibilities exist outside of the AccountingSuite application itself. As your software vendor, we cannot troubleshoot why your server hardware is overheating, why your RAID array failed, or why your Windows updates broke the network connectivity. This is the area of responsibility of your specialists.
