ThingWorx Utilities Installation > System Requirements
System Requirements
System requirements and release matrices for all PTC products are stored in the Release Advisor. The matrices provide information about the compatible operating systems, web browsers, third-party software, and other PTC products. When you want to review a release matrix for a current PTC product, or are ready to upgrade to a new version of a PTC product, the Release Advisor can help guide you to the information you need.

Upload/Download Performance Benchmarking
Performance benchmarking tests were performed for instruction-based file transfer with Software Content Management. These tests were performed in a controlled environment that may not match with actual performance of customer systems.
For these tests, ThingWorx was deployed in the cloud, in a High-Availability environment with 3 nodes. The Axeda devices were hosted in the cloud, in the same cluster as ThingWorx. The following table provides deployment details:
