Product requirements
The technical requirements for IBM Maximo for Service Providers version 7.1.1 are the same as IBM Maximo Asset Management. version 7.1.
IBM Maximo 7.1 Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements:
IBM® Maximo® uses an n-Tier architecture, which lets you deploy Maximo across one or more tiers. You can run Maximo on a single physical server or across multiple servers depending on the number of concurrent users and the hardware.
Maximo requires workstations and servers in each tier of a Maximo system configuration to have the following minimum hardware and software:
Client Workstation:
This is the workstation where end users access and work with Maximo.

| 1 GB RAM | Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6 or 7 browser |
| SVGA 1024 x 768 resolution | Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® 6.0 or 7.0 |
|
Note: The Maximo Workflow Designer requires a Java™ Runtime Environment (currently supported are JRE® 1.4.2 through JRE 1.5). The Workflow Designer checks for the JRE on the administrative workstation. If it does not find the JRE, Workflow Designer prompts you to install JRE 1.4.2-b28. |
