Looking to deploy the Client to your devices? See Next Steps: Deploy the CurrentWare Client to Your Devices.

Software Requirements

CurrentWare Cloud supports the following operating systems for the CurrentWare Client:

All CurrentWare Cloud components are compatible with Citrix, Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Terminal Servers (TS), and Windows-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

There is no local server or database to size and maintain, the Server Hardware and SQL Server requirements that apply to the on-premises version don't apply to CurrentWare Cloud. Data retention and storage are handled entirely on CurrentWare's hosted infrastructure.

CurrentWare Client Footprint

The CurrentWare Client can be installed on your computers remotely and silently. It is lightweight and requires minimal system resources to run, and its impact on performance is minimal.

The CurrentWare Client tracks computer activity and stores it locally before uploading it to CurrentWare Cloud every few minutes.

Key Metrics:

Total installed file size of the CurrentWare Client is less than 15 MB.
Total CPU memory usage is between 12-15 MB.
Total local data storage is less than 1 MB.
Total daily average data collected from the CurrentWare Client is less than 1 MB.

To install the CurrentWare Client, the PC must have a local C:\ Drive.

Network Requirements

CurrentWare Cloud clients connect outbound to CurrentWare's hosted infrastructure over a standard HTTPS internet connection. Because there is no on-premises server, no inbound firewall ports or router port forwarding are required - the setup used for the on-premises version does not apply here.

If your network uses a restrictive outbound firewall or web filter, please contact support@currentware.com for the current list of domains/endpoints to allowlist.
