System Requirements

System Requirements#

Squirro combines structured and unstructured data to provide the Why behind the data, turning disparate data points into a story.

Squirro delivers a personalized, real-time contextual stream naturally integrated into an enterprise application. The power of Squirro derives from its proprietary Smart Filter technology that connects personal interests and workflows while learning and refining as user interactions increase.

This document describes the system requirements for running the Squirro virtual appliance on-premise in a development or proof of concept (PoC) environment.
