# Crosswork Assurance Solution System Requirements

This article is designed to help users with the solution requirements of Cisco Crosswork Assurance products.

### Crosswork Assurance

Crosswork Assurance platform can either be installed On Prem or offered as a managed service in the cloud. The system requirements for the On Prem solution are found here: [On-Premise Deployment Options](/v1/docs/on-premise-deployment-options)

### Crosswork Assurance Legacy Orchestrator

**Installing Sensor Collector** To create and install Sensor Collector for Legacy Orchestrator, see *System Requirements* [here](https://docs.accedian.io/docs/creating-and-installing-roadrunner).

**Viewing deployment profile configuration details** Details on the CPU, memory, and IOP requirements can be found in the *Deployment Profile Configuration* article [here](/v1/docs/docker-deployment-profile-configuration) for Docker.

**Determining virtual disk size** To determine the quantity and size of virtual disks, see disk partitioning and sizing [here](https://docs.accedian.io/skylight-legacy-documentation/docs/virtual-machine-disk-configuration) for virtual machines, and [here](/v1/docs/docker-disk-configuration) for Docker.

### Telemetry Collection

**Setting up Telemetry Collection** To set up a Telemetry Collector and Sensor Collector to bring in Telemetry from IOS XR and IOS XE routers, see [Capacity Planning and Compute Requirements](/v1/docs/capacity-planning-compute-requirements)

### Crosswork Assurance Sensor Agents

**Installation and deployment guidelines** Information on CPU, RAM, Disk, software version and connectivity requirements can be found [here](/v1/docs/agent-install-guidelines#requirements-on-runtime-environment).

**Agent characteristics and capabilities** Details on the limit of sessions supported by an instance can be seen [here](/skylight/docs/skylight-sensor-agents-2112-release-notes#release-components).

### Crosswork Assurance Sensor Capture

**Deployment, range, and sizing** Guidelines for picking the right virtual or physical sensor, including full datasheet content about the hardware sensors, cores / threads, RAM, and storage for the software sensors, can be found [here](/v1/docs/depl-range-sizing).

### Crosswork Assurance Sensor Control

**Viewing resource allocation information** For specific resource allocation information, dependent of deployment type, see *Deployment Type Resource Allocation* [here](/v1/docs/deployment-type-resource-allocation).
