Disclaimer:
- Multiview recommends a stand-alone server be used strictly for Multiview Client/ Server and Oracle only. Other systems or loads placed on the same server may adversely affect overall system performance of Multiview's products and applications.
- Specific system hardware requirements are highly dependent on the size of the user community (concurrent users) as well as the transaction volumes.
Notes 1 to 3:
1. Database size is dependent on anticipated transaction volume as well as converted legacy data.
2. Dual processor servers are highly recommended as this allows for the parallel query option of the Oracle8i Server to be utilized.
3. The use of RAID level 5 allows for fault tolerance with a minimum of redundancy while also obtaining a performance gain through striping data over multiple physical volumes.
