## 22.1. System Requirements

Memory constrains graph size, disk I/O constrains read/write performance, as always.

### 22.1.1. CPU

Performance is generally memory or I/O bound for large graphs, and compute bound for graphs which fit in memory.

Minimum
  Intel Core i3
Recommended
  Intel Core i7

### 22.1.2. Memory

More memory allows even larger graphs, but runs the risk of inducing larger Garbage Collection operations.

Minimum
  2GB
Recommended
  16—32GB or more

### 22.1.3. Disk

Aside from capacity, the performance characteristics of the disk are the most important when selecting storage.

Minimum
  10GB SATA
Recommended
  SSD w/ SATA

### 22.1.4. Filesystem

For proper ACID behavior, the filesystem must support flush (fsync, fdatasync).

Minimum
  ext4 (or similar)
Recommended
  ext4, ZFS

### 22.1.5. Software

Neo4j is Java-based.

Java
  Oracle Java 7
Operating Systems
  Linux, HP UX, Windows 2008 for production; additionally Windows XP, Mac OS X for development.
