Tableau Server has specific hardware requirements for production environments to ensure stability and performance. The minimum recommended free disk space for a production installation is50 GB. This accounts for:
The installation itself (approximately 1–2 GB).
Space for log files, temporary files, and extracts managed by the File Store and Data Engine.
Room for backups and operational overhead.
The full minimum hardware recommendations for a single-node production deployment are:
8 CPU cores(2.0 GHz or faster).
32 GB RAM.
50 GB free disk space(on the system drive, typically C: on Windows).
Option A (32 GB): Incorrect. While 32 GB is the minimum RAM requirement, it’s insufficient for disk space in production.
Option B (50 GB): Correct. This matches Tableau’s official recommendation for production environments.
Option C (15 GB): Incorrect. 15 GB is the minimum for a non-production or trial installation, not production.
Option D (64 GB): Incorrect. While 64 GB exceeds the minimum, it’s not the specified requirement—50 GB is sufficient.
