Committed to the industry movement toward virtualization, we distribute our solutions as Virtual Appliances, eliminating installation, configuration, and maintenance costs associated with traditional deployment methods.

Take the following list of requirements as a starting point. Like physical computers, the virtual machines running under VMware or Hyper-V generally perform better if they have faster processors and more memory.

1. Server Hardware
2. Memory
3. Display
4. Hard Disk
5. Optical CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive
6. Local Area Networking
7. Host Operating System

Server Hardware

• Standard x86-compatible personal computer
• 1 GHz or faster CPU minimum (2 GHz recommended)
• Compatible processors include

Intel™: Celeron™, Pentium™ II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M (including computers with Centrino™ mobile technology), Xeon™ (including “Prestonia”)
AMD™: Athlon™, Athlon MP, Athlon XP, Duron™, Opteron™, Experimental support for AMD Sempron™
Multiprocessor systems supported
64-bit processor support for AMD64 Opteron, Athlon 64 and Intel IA-32e CPU (including “Nocona”)

Memory

• 1 GB minimum (2 GB recommended)

Display

• 16-bit or 32-bit display adapter recommended

Hard Disk

• IDE and SCSI hard drives supported, up to 950GB capacity
• At least 1GB free disk space recommended

For VMware Installation — 80MB (Linux) or 150MB (Windows) free disk space required for basic installation. You can delete the installer afterwards to reclaim 56 – 60MB

Optical CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive

• IDE and SCSI optical drives supported
• CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives supported

Local Area Networking
