Make sure your deployment meets the requirements for deployed Orion Platform products:
Compare the deployment specifications with the requirements for Orion Platform:
Orion Platform product requirements
Review product requirements in our Success Center:
NPM 12.4 |12.3 | 12.2 | 12.1 | 12.0.1 | 12.0
Multi-module requirements
If you are running multiple Orion Platform products, make sure your environment meets the requirements for your environment size.
Your first Orion Platform product must meet the minimum system requirements for the product. Typically, you need a single quad-core processor and 8 GB of RAM. For each additional module on the same system, add one CPU core and 2 GB of RAM.
Scalability engine requirements
If you have deployed high availability, additional polling engines, or additional web servers, servers where you have the scalability engines deployed must also meet the requirements:

Polled data is stored in the Orion SQL Database. The database server must meet the requirements, both hardware and software.
When running multiple Orion Platform products, make sure the database properties are enough to run them all. See Multi-module requirements.
The database size is displayed in the Properties tab.

Review latency requirements, exclude files from antivirus protection, and open the ports as required by your deployment.
Orion SQL database requirements
Latency requirements
The latency (RTT) between each Additional Polling Engine and the database server must be below 300 ms. Degradation can begin around 200 ms, depending on your utilization.
Ping the Orion SQL Server to find out the current latency, and ensure a reliable static connection between the server and the regions.
Antivirus protection
You have excluded appropriate directories from antivirus scanning.
Port requirements
You have opened all ports required by your Orion Platform products, additional polling engines, and additional web servers, in the correct direction.
