24 iSymphony uses some of the newest technologies available with browsers to provide you with the best experience. As a result, some older browsers may not support the features that iSymphony requires. Please see the [[browsers>>doc:Supported Platforms||anchor="browsers"]] section of the supported platforms page for details on which browsers can be used to view iSymphony.

27 If you have disabled Javascript in your browser or are using a script blocking tool like NoScript, you must enable Javascript for iSymphony to access it.

31 We typically recommend that you use Chrome to access iSymphony, as our performance testing has indicated that Chrome provides the best experience with a Javascript-heavy application like iSymphony.

48 Symphony requires a **Java Developers Kit (JDK)** or **Java Runtime Environment (JRE)** platform to be installed on your server's operating system. Please see the [[Java section>>doc:Supported Platforms||anchor="java"]] of our [[doc:Supported Platforms]] page for details on which versions of Java are supported.

50 For instructions on how to install a supported Java platform for iSymphony, please refer to [[doc:Installing Java]].

52 = Server Hardware Requirements =
53
54 iSymphony will run well on any reasonably fast computer (e.g. a modern 2.0+ Ghz dual core processor). Memory and CPU requirements depend mainly on the amount of activity and users that your installation will have, as well as the maximum number of concurrent requests that the system will experience during peak hours.
55
56 * iSymphony currently **requires **a physical system or Virtual Private Server (Such as OpenVZ, KVM, VMWare or similar) with a Network Interface Card (NIC) that supports MAC address assignment.
57 * A small system that needs to handle around **5-10** concurrent users and around **200** calls per day would work sufficiently on a modern system with a **2.0+ GHz dual core CPU** and **2 GB** of available RAM.
58 * A medium size system that needs to handle around **20-50** concurrent users and around **500** calls per day would work sufficiently on a modern system with a **3.0+ GHz dual core CPU** and **2 GB** of available RAM.
59 * A large system that needs to handle around **50-100** concurrent users and around **1000** calls per day would work sufficiently on a modern system with a **3.0+ GHz quad core CPU** and **3 GB** of available RAM.
60 * Utilizing a lower end CPU, like an Intel Atom, can handle a small amount of concurrent users (~~5) and around 100 calls per day, but is not recommended.
61 * iSymphony was built from the ground up to take advantage of multi-core CPUs. Running iSymphony on systems with only one core available is not recommended.
