System requirements - Cloud

Last updated: 28 October 2025 17:32 BST

Although the Cloud application runs ZTV calculations and other actions on managed cloud infrastructure, the local device still requires sufficient memory, a fast SSD, and a mid-range processor for its own tasks.

System Resources

On Windows 10/11 systems, a browser with multiple tabs and background programmes typically uses 6–8 GB of RAM. Under heavier load, usage can increase to 10–14 GB. Devices with limited resources may struggle and slow down overall performance.

To ensure stable use of the Cloud application alongside other work software, we recommend the following specifications or better:

Optimal

  • Windows 10/11 64-bit or macOS
  • Apple Silicon (M2 or newer)*, Intel Core i5 (11th gen or newer, 4+ cores) or AMD Ryzen 5 (5000 series or newer, 6 cores)
  • 16 GB or more DDR4 (dual-channel preferably)
  • ≥ 256 GB NVMe SSD (PCIe 3.0 or newer)
*M1 MacBooks handle Cloud tasks reliably, though newer models deliver better performance.
