System requirements

Operating system requirements

Parallels RAS Reporting can be installed on a server running one of the following Windows Server versions:

  • Windows Server 2022
  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server 2016
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2008

.NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.5 or higher must be installed.

Microsoft SQL Server requirements

Parallels RAS Reporting can be used with the following Microsoft SQL Server versions:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2019
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2017
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2016
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2014
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1

Beginning with RAS 17.1, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and the SQL Server database engine can be deployed on separate hosts.

Using Microsoft SQL Server 2017 and 2019

Microsoft SQL Server 2017 and 2019 allow you to install the database engine and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) on different hosts. Parallels RAS 17.1 (and newer) supports this deployment scenario and gives you the ability to use SQL Server Reporting Services and the SQL Server database engine installed on separate hosts.

Installation locations

RAS Reporting must be installed on the same server where SQL Server Reporting Services are running. Please note that if you have SSRS and the database engine installed on different hosts, RAS Reporting must be installed where the SSRS are installed.

The following table contains RAS and SQL Server version compatibility information and locations where components necessary to use RAS Reporting can be installed:

Microsoft SQL Server must be installed as a named instance (not default or unnamed instance), because an instance must have a name for RAS Reporting to work. You can specify an instance name when you install Microsoft SQL Server (or when you create a new SQL Server instance in a multi-instance scenario). For complete details, please read the Install Microsoft SQL Server section that follows this one.
