Web application requirements
This section lists the hardware and software requirements for the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) and Dynamics 365 web and mobile device client applications.
Customer Engagement (on-premises) web application hardware requirements
The following table lists the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for the Customer Engagement (on-premises) web application.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | 1.9 gigahertz (GHz) x86- or x64-bit dual core processor with SSE2 instruction set | 3.3 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 64-bit dual core processor with SSE2 instruction set |
| Memory | 2-GB RAM | 4-GB RAM or more |
| Display | Super VGA with a resolution of 1024 x 768 | Super VGA with a resolution of 1024 x 768 |
Running Customer Engagement (on-premises) on a computer that has less than the recommended requirements may result in inadequate performance. Additionally, satisfactory performance may be experienced running systems that use a different hardware configuration than those published here—for example, a system with a modern quad-core processor, lower clock speed, and more RAM.
Network requirements
Customer Engagement (on-premises) is designed to work best over networks that have the following elements:
Bandwidth greater than 50 KBps (400 kbps)
Latency under 150 ms
Notice that these values are recommendations and don’t guarantee satisfactory performance. The recommended values are based on systems using out-of-the box forms that aren’t customized. If you significantly customize the out-of-box forms, we recommend that you test the form response to understand bandwidth needs. More information: Verify network capacity and throughput for Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps clients
Network requirements when you use Customer Engagement (on-premises) interactive service hub experience
The Customer Engagement (on-premises)interactive service hub experience is designed to work best over networks that have the following elements:
Bandwidth greater than 1Megabit per second (125 KBps/Kilobyte per second)
Latency under 150 ms
Notice that the suggested network requirements include the metadata download needed for first run or newly published customizations. The Customer Engagement (on-premises) interactive service hub typically requires more bandwidth when metadata has to be downloaded. These values are recommendations and don’t guarantee satisfactory performance. The values are based on systems using uncustomized, out-of-the box forms. If you significantly customize the out-of-box forms, we recommend that you test the form response to understand bandwidth needs.
