This guide outlines the system requirements and firewall configuration needed to install and use Media Shuttle in your organization.
Media Shuttle On-Premises Storage Server
Media Shuttle storage servers provide an endpoint for Media Shuttle transfers using on-premises storage, such as a local disk, NAS or a SAN.
Operating System
- RedHat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 7.0+ (64-bit)
- Windows 7 (64-bit)
- Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
- Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019
Hardware
- CPU: Intel Xeon dual-core processor 2 GHz or better
- Memory: 4GB, 8GB recommended
- Disk Space: 4 GB free space, 40 GB free space recommended
- Network Connection: 100 Mbps or faster
- Shared Memory Segment (Linux): 512 MB minimum
Network Setup
Media Shuttle storage servers use ports 80, 443, 8080, 8443, 49221, and 61001 for monitoring, control and data transfer functions. No other software can use these ports on your storage server.
If you are using NAS with a Media Shuttle storage server without a Windows domain, you must set up a local user account with administrative privileges with the same user name and password as the NAS server.
For more information on NAS, see section 4.1 in the Media Shuttle Deployment Guide.

Cloud Object Storage
Media Shuttle supports both Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Blob cloud object storage.
- If you are using AWS S3 storage, you must create a Role ARN to allow Media Shuttle to connect to your bucket.
- If you are using Microsoft Azure storage, you must generate an access key for use with Media Shuttle to allow access to your container.
