Get Started

While Tableau will perform the majority of activities necessary, the following infrastructure must be provided.

Infrastructure specifications

  • Compute: A location for hosting Data Connect. This can be a bare-metal or VM, and can be located in a private network or in the cloud.

  • Operating System (OS): An up-to-date and patched installation of a supported Linux distribution.

  • Storage: Allocated storage space to host the OS, Data Connect, and the extracts it creates when performing refreshes.

  • Network: The compute must be able to connect to your data source and two locations on the public internet.
