Prerequisites

On-premise AMP requires you to have IT staff with the appropriate level of access, knowledge, and ability to perform basic hosting-related IT tasks, including:

• Installation and configuration of server, application, and database software.
• Email (specifically SMTP) account setup and configuration.
• Configuration of DNS and other services.
• Obtaining or creating signed SSL certificates (https/TLS implementation is mandatory).

If you have additional questions about prerequisites or installation, please contact support.

Supported Configurations

System Components

There are three system components required to run AMP:

• Web Server: Running PHP, responsible for the user interface and APIs.
• Application Server: Java, responsible for automated testing of HTML and PDF content.
• Database Server: MySQL, the RDBMS responsible for storing data and configuration.

Level Access recommends that customers deploy the software onto virtualized environments to ensure maximum ROI, implementation flexibility, and future scalability. Level Access doesn't recommend a specific technology or vendor, and doesn't offer specific services in this domain.

End User Requirements

AMP provides browser extensions that the end user can install in their browser to test individual web pages. To use these extensions, users must have the necessary privileges to install and run extensions into either the Chrome or Firefox browsers on their workstations.

Network Requirements

• The Web Server and the Application Server require http/https access to each other.

• The Web Server requires network access to the Database Server.

• The Web Server requires network access to an Email Server/Relay to send messages to end users.

• End users are required to have access to the internet and should be allowed to load assets from the following sites:

  • fonts.googleapis.com

  • code.jquery.com

Hardware Requirements

The table below shows the basic memory requirements for a typical enterprise installation.

The various services can all be installed on a single instance if the various dimensions are increased appropriately. For example, a server with 24GB RAM, Quad-Core (or equivalent) CPU server and 500GB storage can run a minimal implementation of all services.

Customers with more aggressive use patterns should contact support.

Operating System Deployment Recommendations

AMP is developed and tested on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and secondarily, deployment artifacts are generated for RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 8.8). Only these two operating systems are supported for Production deployments.

Software Requirements

The specific software versions are described in the specific install or upgrade documents for a given version, so the following should be considered as indicative:

• Apache 2.4: using the Prefork MPM serving over SSL/HTTPS
  • Common Modules: php_module, mod_env, mod_rewrite, mod_alias, mod_ssl, mod_proxy, mod_headers, proxy_http_module
  • Windows Modules: proxy_connect_module
• PHP 8.1

• MySQL 8.0
• Java 8 (latest patch revision)
  • Required for AMP & Continuum
• Java 11 (latest patch revision)
  • For Spidering Services
• J2EE Server, including any of the following:
