If you choose to have Microwize host Aprima in the cloud for you, then you won’t need a server with the requirements below – we’ll take care of everything on our end! For those who prefer to host your Aprima server in the office for up to five providers and up to 20 users, please ensure that it is running Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 with Desktop Experience installed (Server 2012/2012 R2 will reach end-of-support in October 2023 and should not be used for new installs) and meets or exceeds the following specifications. (For more than five providers / 20 users, please speak with one of Microwize’s healthcare technology consultants.)

• Intel Xeon 2.0 GHz or better CPU
• 32 GB of RAM
• OS drive: two 300 GB (or larger) 15K or faster hard disks or Solid State Drives (SSDs) configured for RAID 1
• Data drive: four 600 GB (or larger) 15K or faster hard disks or Solid State Drives (SSDs) configured for RAID 10 (recommended: five disks/SSDs configured for RAID 5)
