System architecture and requirements / Workstation requirements

Workstation requirements

BRIX is based on a client-server interaction model. Users work with the system remotely via a local area network or the Internet. No client software is required to connect to the BRIX server, as users work with the system directly in a web browser. In addition, a classic desktop application is available for Windows and macOS, which allows users to get notifications even if the web browser is closed. You can also install the BRIX mobile application.

Supported browsers

The following browsers are supported by all the editions of SaaS and On-Premises (the information is given with minimum browser version requirements for BRIX starting with release 2025.1):

  • Google Chrome: version 110 and above.
  • Microsoft Edge: version 110 and above.
  • Firefox: version 110 and above. Please note that working in incognito mode in Firefox browser is not possible because Firefox does not support IndexedDB in this mode.
  • Opera: version 96 and above.
  • Yandex Browser: version 23 and above.
  • Safari for macOS and iOS: version 15 and above.
  • Android Browser: two latest versions.

If your BRIX version is lower than 2025.1, it is recommended to use a browser version released within the last two years for the system to function correctly.

The PC system requirements for working with BRIX in the browser align with the specifications stated for the proper functioning of the browser itself.

Additionally, it is recommended to use an up-to-date operating system provided by the manufacturer for browser operations.
