     • 8080 (Internal for Tomcat, redirected to 443 externally)
2. Database Server Components
   • MySQL: Latest stable version (Primary database engine)
   • MySQL Workbench: Latest stable version (Recommended for DB management)
   • Ports:
     • 3306 (MySQL, allow only from trusted sources)

Hardware Requirements

1. Base Hardware Requirements (OS-Level Minimums) 
   • Windows Server 2019/2022: 
     • CPU: 2-core 2.0 GHz+ (x64) 
     • RAM: 4 GB minimum 
     • Storage: 40 GB HDD/SSD 
     • Network: 1 Gbps NIC 
   • Rocky Linux 9: 
     • CPU: 2-core 1.8 GHz+ (x86_64) 
     • RAM: 2 GB minimum 
     • Storage: 20 GB HDD/SSD 
     • Network: 1 Gbps NIC 
2. Recommended Hardware Based on User Load (Web Environment)
   • Consolidated Installation (Web and Database on the Same Server) 
     • Best for smaller deployments or customers without a dedicated database server. 
     • Small Deployment (1-5 Users) 
       • CPU: 4-core (Windows) / 2-core (Linux) 
       • RAM: 8 GB (Windows) / 4 GB (Linux) 
       • Storage: 100 GB SSD or 300 GB 15K HDD 
     • Medium Deployment (5-15 Users) 
       • CPU: 6-core (Windows) / 4-core (Linux) 
       • RAM: 16 GB (Windows) / 8 GB (Linux) 
       • Storage: 250 GB SSD or 500 GB 15K HDD 
     • Large Deployment (15+ Users) 
       • CPU: 8-core (Windows) / 6-core (Linux) 
       • RAM: 32 GB (Windows) / 16 GB (Linux) 
       • Storage: 500 GB SSD or 1 TB 15K HDD 
   • Separated Installation (Web and Database on Different Servers) 
     • Best for performance optimization, scalability, or larger deployments. With Separated deployments focus can be placed on larger Database needs with smaller user requirements.  A mix of Web and Database server options can be utilized to best suit the need. 
     • Web Server Requirements 
       • Small (1-15 Users): CPU: 2-core (Linux) / 4-core (Windows), RAM: 8 GB, Storage: 60 GB SSD / 180 GB 15K HDD 
       • Medium (15-30 Users): CPU: 4-core (Linux) / 6-core (Windows), RAM: 12 GB, Storage: 100 GB SSD / 300 GB 15K HDD 
       • Large (30+ Users): CPU: 6-core (Linux) / 8-core (Windows), RAM: 16-24 GB, Storage: 250 GB SSD / 500 GB 15K HDD 
     • Database Server Requirements 
       • Small: CPU: 4-core (Linux/Windows), RAM: 8 GB, Storage: 150 GB SSD / 300 GB 15K HDD 
       • Medium: CPU: 6-core (Linux/Windows), RAM: 16 GB, Storage: 250 GB SSD / 500 GB 15K HDD 
       • Large: CPU: 8-core (Linux/Windows), RAM: 32 GB, Storage: 500 GB SSD / 1 TB 15K HDD
