Sage MAS 500—System Requirements
(v6.1) |
|
SQL
Server hardware requirements
The server you will use for SQL Server and Sage MAS 500 must
meet
the following requirements: |
| |
|
Minimum
Dual Intel Pentium® III class or better (450MHz
or faster recommended) |
| |
|
Minimum
of 512MB of RAM (recommendation varies according
to user count and data volume) |
| |
|
Minimum
of 1GB of available disk space for database creation |
|
| |
In general,
the best overall performance is received when the server
and clients contain sufficient hardware resources above
the specified minimums and the server is dedicated.
Production servers generally include additional memory,
512 KB to 2 GB of L2 Cache,
2 to 4 CPUs, multiple RAID
1 arrays and a host of other advanced hardware. The
server configuration will not only affect server performance
in data manipulation, but even the form load times at
the local client machine. Variations in the amount of
data, number of users and modules in use can all drastically
affect performance. |
|
| |
Server operating system
requirements
You need to configure the operating system as a dedicated
database server. Sage MAS 500 requires the following server operating
system: |
| |
|
Windows 2000 Server (Service
Pack 1 is recommended). |
|
| |
Network protocol
requirements
Sage MAS 500 requires that you use the TCP/IP routable network
protocol and assign IP addresses to the client and server
systems. The following SQL network libraries are supported
on the TCP/IP protocol: |
| |
|
Named Pipes |
| |
|
Multi Protocol |
| |
|
TCP/IP Sockets |
|
| |
SQL Server requirements
Sage MAS 500 requires the following version of Microsoft SQL Server: |
|
| |
Note: Multiple instances
of SQL Server 2000 can be used, but because of performance
degradation, only a single instance of SQL Server is supported
on the production server. |
| |
Internet Applications
requirements
For Internet Applications, the web server where the eCustomer,
eSalesForce, eExecutive or Web Reports web site is located
requires Windows 2000 Server and the provided Internet Information
Server (IIS) version 5.0. |
| |
Client workstation
requirements |
| |
|
Compatibility with Windows Vista |
| |
|
Pentium® II class or
better processor |
| |
|
Minimum of 64MB of RAM
(128MB or more recommended) |
| |
|
SVGA Monitor and Video
Drivers (800x600 resolution) |
| |
|
300MB of available disk
space for a local client installation |
| |
|
Windows 2000 Server Terminal
Services or Windows 2000 Professional |
| |
|
A default
print device. This is is required for Crystal Reports |
|
| |
Terminal Services requirements
Sage MAS 500 supports the use of Windows 2000 Terminal Services
to enable multiple user sessions to run concurrently on a
shared server. You can use one NT user account to establish
multiple Windows Terminal sessions from the same terminal
or different terminals. |
| |
Consider the
following recommendations for best performance: |
| |
|
High-performance network
interface card (NIC). |
| |
|
A microprocessor-based
multi-port asynchronous communications adapter to reduce
interrupt overhead for dial-in users. |
