| Notes |
1. It is recommended to have a
dedicated Terminal Server/Citrix Server. There may be
performance losses if Microsoft SQL Server is running on the
Terminal Server/Citrix Server. Therefore, it is highly
recommended to have two separate servers. One server with
Terminal Server and/or Citrix and one server with Microsoft SQL
Server.
2. The FRx Application wont run on 64-bit but sysdata directory
can.
3. The Easy Print functionality of Microsoft Windows Server 2008
is not supported.
4. If accessing Citrix, the hardware and software must be
supported according to the Citrix configuration requirements.
5. Make sure processors can be upgraded to 4 processors for
Standard Edition or 8 processors for Enterprise Edition
6. The amount of RAM needed depends on the number of concurrent
users per Terminal Server.
7. Recommend no more then 25 users per 100 Base T network card,
unless a Fiber NIC is installed. If a Fiber NIC is installed,
the SQL Server should also have a Fiber NIC installed for
optimal network performance.
8. Verify switch is capable of handling network traffic
9. Increased user count may require greater RAM and Processor
speed
10. Users utilizing FRx or Crystal reporting via Terminal
Services may require increased hardware to increase performance.
11. When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure
that you have sufficient hard disk space to avoid performance
problems. Each computer that you deploy in a virtual environment
should meet or exceed the random access memory (RAM)
requirements and the hard disk space requirements. |
A dedicated server is
recommended.
10 Reasons to
Upgrade to Version 10
*These requirements apply to systems with
up to 15 users and fewer
than 500 transactions per day. Please contact us if you
exceed
these numbers or import large amounts of data.
