Windows Server
Recommendations
ACUMEN requires a dedicated database server
- only the Operating System and ACUMEN should be run on the database
server. No other applications should be installed on that
machine. Virus protection software can only be installed on the
ACUMEN database server if it is run in manual mode. In other
words, virus software should not be operating on the ACUMEN database
server while ACUMEN is running.
Operating System:
An ACUMEN server with 6 users or less can use Windows XP
Professional or Windows Vista Business. For 10 users or above, Windows Server 2003 should be
installed.
Backup Systems:
All configurations below include backup hardware. If you are already
using a backup device to backup hard drives on your network, you may
not need to purchase a new one.
Supported backup hardware and software. CyberWolf recommends
Dantz Retrospect or Symantec Backup Exec as the preferred backup software.
More on Backup
Strategy.
A Surge Protector with Backup Power
Supply should be added to any server with critical data.
How to Determine the Server Configuration You Need: The key
factors in determining the server configuration you will need are
number of users and number of transactions. Transaction level ratings
are based on a number of factors, including number of products,
customers, credit memos per day and number of invoices per day. The
single most indicative is the number of average invoice line items
processed a day, so the Transaction Levels used by the following chart
are based on that number. Contact your sales rep if you would like a
more exact assessment.
