The system and hardware requirements that are required to run ArcGIS Data Store are listed below. ArcGIS Data Store is a component of ArcGIS Enterprise; they both support the same operating systems and browsers.
Each of the three ArcGIS Data Store types—relational, tile cache, and spatiotemporal big data store—require different amounts of memory, disk space, and other resources. Be sure your machines meet the requirements for each. It is not recommended to put more than one data store type on the same machine but, if you do, be sure your machine meets combined requirements for all data stores and other software you have installed on the machine.
It's recommended that you review the deprecation notice to determine if your hardware and software components are still compatible with ArcGIS Data Store 10.8 and 10.8.1.
Windows operating system requirements
The following 64-bit operating systems satisfy the minimum operating system requirements. Support is not provided for 32-bit operating systems; the setup will only proceed if the operating system is 64 bit.
Machines with an underscore (_) in their names are not supported. Several widely used internet host name specifications have designated the underscore character as nonstandard. Although Microsoft Windows allows you to use the underscore in a machine name, it can still cause problems when you interact with other servers and platforms. For this reason, ArcGIS Data Store will not proceed with installation on servers that have an underscore in the host name.
ArcGIS Data Store is not supported on domain controllers. Installing ArcGIS Data Store on a domain controller may adversely affect functionality.
Note:
ArcGIS Enterprise components require the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2019 Redistributable (x64) minimum version 14.22.27821. Obtain the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015–2019 file from the Microsoft site.
If the required Visual C++ Redistributables are not installed, running the ArcGIS Data Store setup.exe file will install them. Running the ArcGIS Data Store setup.msi file will not install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (x64). Therefore, if you want to run the ArcGIS Data Store setup.msi, you must install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 Redistributables (x64) first.

Disk space requirements
To install and configure ArcGIS Data Store requires a minimum of 13 GB of available disk space on the system drive. This is the minimum disk space requirement for a machine with one empty data store type; it does not take into account the data you will store in the data store or backup files that might be stored on the machine. Given this requirement, you should plan to install ArcGIS Data Store on machines with large quantities of available disk space.
Note:
When a relational or tile cache data store machine contains less than 10 GB of free disk space, ArcGIS Data Store begins logging warnings that you are running out of disk space. When free disk space on spatiotemporal big data store machines reaches 20 percent, ArcGIS Data Store begins logging warnings that you are running out of disk space. Monitor your data store logs so you are aware when a machine begins to run out of disk space. Once the disk drive contains less than 1 GB of free space, relational data stores are placed in read-only mode, and tile cache and spatiotemporal big data stores are shut down.
To determine the amount of disk space needed on a dedicated ArcGIS Data Store machine, you need to take all of the following into consideration:
- The software installation uses 800 MB of disk space.
- Each data store uses an additional amount of space when created and still empty:
- Tile cache data store = 1 MB
- Spatiotemporal big data store = 200 MB
- Relational data store = 2.5 GB*
*An empty relational data store uses up to 2.5 GB of disk space over time, to support high availability and a reliable backup policy. Upon configuration of the relational data store, approximately 200 MB of disk space is used. The amount of disk space used by the empty relational data store will grow by about 200 MB per hour over the course of 11 hours until settling at 2.5 GB at that time. Data stored in the system during use is in addition to this baseline storage requirement.
- You need to estimate the amount of disk space needed for the data stored in the data stores.
- Backup files stored on the data store machine also consume disk space. If you do not configure backups to be written to a shared location, you must plan for this additional use of disk space.
Memory requirements
The minimum memory required to configure a single, empty ArcGIS Data Store on a machine varies by type. Meeting the minimum free memory requirements ensures the data store will start. Once in use, additional memory is required.
The following minimum memory requirements assume you install each type of ArcGIS Data Store on its own machine; no other data store type or ArcGIS Enterprise component is installed on the machine. Amounts listed reflect the amount of free memory that must be available on the machine before installing ArcGIS Data Store and configuring a data store.
- Relational data store = 8 GB
- Spatiotemporal big data store = 16 GB
- Tile cache data store = 8 GB
Firewall settings
ArcGIS Data Store uses specific ports to communicate with the portal, the hosting server, and machines inside the data store.
See Ports used by ArcGIS Data Store for information on the ports you need to open in the firewall to allow this communication to take place.
Supported web browsers
ArcGIS Data Store administration resources and the Data Store Configuration wizard require one of the following web browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11*
- Microsoft Edge
*Use of Internet Explorer 11 is deprecated at this release. Esri highly encourages you to move to one of the other browsers listed above. While Internet Explorer 11 is still supported with the current release, use of Internet Explorer 11 is generally discouraged, and support will be discontinued at a future release. Additional notice will be provided prior to the removal of support.
Supported virtualization environments and cloud platforms
Virtualization and cloud environment support is the same for all components of a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. See ArcGIS Enterprise on cloud platforms and Supported virtualization environments in ArcGIS Enterprise system requirements for details.
