| Operating system |
- Microsoft Windows Server 2022
- Microsoft Windows Server 2019
Notes:
-
Since release 2025 R1/V12.0.37, if you are using Windows Server 2012 or 2016, you need to upgrade to Windows Server 2019, 2022, or 2025.
-
As of April 2025, MongoDB 7 and MongoDB 8 are not yet certified on Windows Server 2025. As a consequence, we recommend using Windows Server 2022 until Windows Server 2025 offers support for MongoDB 7 and MongoDB 8.
|
| Server |
- Industry-standard server or virtual machine.
- Processors:
- Recommended: Intel® Xeon® E5 v3 or later, E7 v3 or later
- AMD OPTERON™ or EPYC™
- With at least one dedicated processor, or more required to sustain up to 50 concurrent users in a mono-tier architecture.
- Avoid low energy processors, best performance with a clock speed above 2.4 GHz
- 1 additional core recommended for every 40 sessions.
|
| RAM |
- 2 GB for the OS + 2 to 6 GB per database instance (average) + 60 MB per connected user.
|
| Disk space |
- 4 GB. You must add the space necessary for your own database file.
|
| User accounts |
- Installing MongoDB 7 or MongoDB 8 requires a user account with administrator rights. This account can also be used for the software.
- It is strongly recommended to choose a domain user. This user has to be able to:
- Access and modify the MongoDB folder.
- Open a session as a service.
It is recommended to use a domain user account belonging to the local administrators group.
- For the actual software users, it is recommended to define a user group and assign the access to the different software folders after installing the software components.

| Others |
- JDK or a Java Runtime Environment version 11 must be installed.
