System Requirements

The system requirements to run Monsoon Marketplace are based on the number of unique SKUs you stock and the number of markets you sell on. These requirements are subject to change.

General requirements

General Monsoon Marketplace server requirements include:

What's included in Monsoon Marketplace

A Monsoon Marketplace installation includes:

Note: The version of Microsoft SQL Server™ included with Monsoon Marketplace is suitable for use with Tiers 1 and 2.

If you will be on Tier 3 or 4, you must purchase Microsoft SQL Server™ Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition to support the number of SKUs and connections necessary for Monsoon Marketplace to run.

Server requirements

There are four tiers of system requirements based on the number of unique SKUs you stock, orders, and the number of markets you sell on.

The following table shows the recommended minimum system requirements. However, based on your environment and needs, you may want to increase your CPU benchmark, RAM size, or hard drive access speed to optimize your overall performance.

If you are a current customer and have questions about system requirements, or would like help assessing your system needs, please submit a ticket on the Monsoon Support Center. If you are not a current customer, our Monsoon Sales team is available to help.

Important
If your unique SKU count matches one tier, but you plan to sell on multiple markets, we recommend that you use the requirements for the next tier up.

For example, if you have up to 5,000 unique SKUs (Tier 1), but plan to sell on every market, you should use the requirements for the next tier (Tier 2).
