GEODI Installation Requirements

GEODI Installation Requirements

GEODI is a web application. Users access GEODI via a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. GEODI Server runs on your servers, and data remains on your servers.

This page lists the basic requirements for installation.

Β 

Server Requirements (Suggested)

  • CPU:16+ Cores,

  • Memory: 32Gb+

  • Disk: 500GB+

  • OS: Windows 8 and above

  • .NET Framework: 4.0+

  • Physical/virtual or cloud server (Azure, Amazon, or others).

  • (For extensive OCR or high traffic, use better servers)

πŸ” Connection Requirements

If you will use the Discovery (GDE) or Classification agent β†’ an SSL certificate is required.

If you will use OWA Classification β†’ a public (internet-accessible) address is required.

For browser access to GEODI β†’ the default port 3323 (or another port you specify) must be open.

Authorized Users

For installation and usage, the following authorized users are required:

  • A user with permission to install Windows services

  • An authorized user who can install the Discovery (GDE) or Classification agent

  • If you will only perform Discovery β†’ a user with ReadOnly access

  • If you will perform Deletion, Quarantine, or Data Remediation actions β†’ a user with Write access

🌐 Internet Access

Internet access is not required for installing GEODI; however, it enhances functionality by enabling the use of the AI Assistant (Support Q), as well as allowing updates, module installations, and support requests.
We highly recommend enabling limited access to the following addresses.

To allow GEODI to access installation files and module updates, the following addresses should be reachable:

These connections enable automatic updates, module installations, and a more straightforward setup.

πŸ’‘ Note: Offline installation is also possible; however, in that case, updates and module installations must be performed manually.


🧰 Technical Support and Ticket Operations

To create support requests, track existing tickets, and communicate with the support team, access to the following addresses is recommended:

These connections help ensure that support processes are handled more quickly and transparently.

Storage

GEODI requires disk space for indexing and additional operations.

The required space is approximately 10–20% of your total data volume.

Using an SSD drive significantly improves performance.

Discovery and Classification Agents

GEODI Desktop Explorer (GDE) - EndPoint/FileServer crwaler agent

1️⃣ GDE can run on Windows, Pardus, Linux, and Mac computers.
It can operate either as a GEODI login user or as a Windows service.

2️⃣ The agents require access to the GEODI Server to function correctly.

3️⃣ To ensure server communication, the port 1982 (or a custom-defined port) must be open on the PC.

4️⃣ Network tools, such as DLP or Firewall, may block or reduce the performance of GEODI and GDE communication.
You should define additional rules in these tools to ensure stable connectivity and optimal performance.

5️⃣ For installing, updating, or uninstalling the GDE agent, it is recommended to use manual deployment or a centralized management tool such as SCCM.

OWA Classifier

OWA Classifier is a webmail classification add-in.

It supports:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server (version 2013 and above)

  • Microsoft Office 365

GEODI Classifier OWA Installation

Classification agent - GEODI Classifier

1️⃣ The Office Classifier agent operates within Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and is compatible with MS Office 2007 and later versions.

2️⃣ The Desktop Classifier agent runs inside Windows Explorer.

3️⃣ For automatic classification, the agents require access to the GEODI Server.

4️⃣ If you already use another classification tool, having one Word document per class is sufficient for migration to GEODI Classifier.

5️⃣ Network tools, such as DLP or Firewall, may block or reduce the performance of GEODI and GDE access.
You should define additional rules in these tools to allow communication.

6️⃣ Some DLP tools may already perform discovery operations on files.
With GEODI, such rules are no longer necessary β€” redefining or disabling them will improve performance and resource utilization.

7️⃣ The GEODI Classifier family includes both Desktop and Microsoft Office agents, combined in a single package.

8️⃣ You can deploy the agents manually or using deployment tools such as SCCM.

GEODI Q / AI Infrastructure

LLM Provider

GEODI Q supports both local and cloud-based LLM providers. Depending on your preference or needs, you can use any of them simultaneously.

Supported Providers

  • OpenAI / ChatGPT

  • Google / Gemini

  • Azure AI Foundry / All Models

  • Open Source / Ollama – DeepSeek, LLaMA, etc.

All of these are supported. For cloud-based providers, you will need to obtain an API key.

On-Prem AI

After installing GEODI Q, you can set up Ollama and any LLM provider of your choice on your local machines.
No internet access is required for this configuration.

The performance of local LLM providers depends on the hardware specifications of the server machines, such as memory and GPU capacity.

It is also possible to scale and enhance performance using methods like NLB (Network Load Balancing) or similar infrastructure approaches.
