Only industry standard desktop, laptop, or notebook computers and server hardware platforms are supported. Mobile, tablet, embedded, or fixed-function devices require additional qualifications.

Other supported operating systems should have at least 1 GB of physical memory. |

Disk Space |
The Agent requires at least 200 MB of free disk space on the system volume; 500 MB is recommended. |
Actual storage requirements depend on factors such as the number of files on the computer and the Carbon Black App Control Server configuration. |
