Applicare requires a two-machine deployment setup for security and performance:

  • Applicare Controller: This machine hosts the Applicare controller.
  • Database Server: This machine hosts the Applicare controller data store.

Security: Only the Applicare Controller is permitted to connect to the Database Server. All Agents communicate exclusively with the Applicare Controller, preventing direct agent-to-database connections and enhancing system security.


Hardware & Software  requirements for Applicare Controller machine:

 Applicare installer  Downloadable from the Applicare support site. 
 Disk Space  100GB SSD
 RAM  32 GB
 CPU  Intel i7 6-core equivalent or higher
 Java  Java 25 or any supported version
 OS  Windows 10 or later / Windows Server 2012 or newer.
                                        (OR)
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x or newer (RHEL 8 recommended).
 Permission  Login user must have administrative (Windows) or root/sudo (Linux) privileges.
 Web Browser Google Chrome (stable version recommended for Windows)


Hardware & Software requirements for Applicare database machine:

 Mysql  MySQL Server 8.0
 Disk Space  1 TB SSD or higher  (Critical: Higher capacity recommended for production  monitoring).
 RAM  64 GB or higher.
 CPU  Intel i7 6-core equivalent or higher.
 Supported OS  Windows 10 or later / Windows Server 2012 or newer.
                                          (OR)

Port and Network Requirements

  • Agent to Applicare Controller: Agents must be able to reach the Applicare Controller's IP and Port.
    • Default Port: 8880 (Can be modified).
    • The Controller's VM IP address must be accessible to all agents.
  • Applicare Controller to Database Server: The Applicare Controller must be able to reach the Database Server's IP and Port.
    • Default Port: 3306 (MySQL default).
