Windows System Configuration

Table 2-8	Windows System Configuration Requirements for Virtual Network Data Server
		Processor1	RAM2	Free Disk Space	FSB3
Minimum		Intel Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz	2 GB	20 GB	800 MHz
		Intel Xeon, 2.4 GHz	2 GB	20 GB	533 MHz
Recommended		Intel Pentium 4, 3+ GHz	3 GB	80 GB	800 MHz
		Intel Xeon, 3+ GHz	3 GB	80 GB	800 MHz

1.A dual-processor configuration is recommended if Virtual Network Data Server and the back-end Oracle database are to reside on the same platform.

2.Virtual Network Data Server performance will improve with more available memory as network size increases.

3.Front-Side Bus (FSB) speed affects the speed of data transfer to and from the Virtual Network Data Server database; faster bus speeds will improve Virtual Network Data Server performance.

Note Remote access to the Virtual Network Data Server console window is unavailable under Windows 2000 Server when run under Windows Terminal Services. Cisco recommends running Virtual Network Data Server under Windows Server 2003 if it is to be deployed on Windows Terminal Services. Otherwise, users on Windows 2000 Server will need physical access to the server’s console for access to the Virtual Network Data Server user interface.

Note Virtual Network Data Server does not operate on machines with the Intel Itanium processor. To check the processor used by your Windows computer, right-click on the My Computer desktop icon and choose Properties.
