Minimum System Requirements

To set up an environment for the Insol 6 software, the system requirements are:

Server

When setting up a server to run the Insolvency software, it is important to note:

• Insolvency software is not tested on peer-to-peer networks. A peer-to-peer network is where the workstation is also used as a server.
• Insolvency software is not tested in environments where an operating system designed for a workstation is used as a server.

SERVER REQUIREMENTS (EXCLUDING TERMINAL SERVER)
Processor	Dual Core Server class processor
RAM	8 GB or more
Hard Disk	10k or 15k RPM based SAS/SCSI Base of 30 GB Allow extra hard disk space for backups as required
Other	For optimal performance, we recommend that a dedicated SQL server is implemented, and that Microsoft Exchange and other disk/CPU intensive processes be installed on a separate server. We strongly recommend that sites with more than 30 concurrent users implement SQL Server Standard or Workgroup Editions rather than SQL Express. Please consult a qualified Microsoft engineer as SQL Server has specific hard drive and configuration requirements. SQL Server Standard or Workgroup software and licences are not provided with the software.  SQL Server 2012 is the earliest supported version.  All subsequent SQL Server versions are supported. Sites using Windows Server must ensure that Opportunistic Locking is disabled. At least 1 Gbps network connectivity to all servers and workstations.

WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVER/MICROSOFT REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES REQUIREMENTS
Processor	2 x Dual or Quad Core Server class processor
RAM	Base of 8 GB plus 1 GB per user
Hard Disk*	10k or 15k RPM based SAS/SCSI or equivalent/faster speed SSD Base of 30 GB Allow extra for backups as required
Other	Screen resolution set to at least 1440 x 900 (inherited from client connection). Microsoft recommends that Exchange and SQL are located on a separate server if you are running Terminal Server. If you have more than 15-20 users you should consider multiple Terminal Servers. Speak to a qualified Microsoft engineer experienced with Terminal Services and Citrix for more details. Sites using Terminal Services must ensure that Opportunistic Locking is disabled. At least 1 Gbps network connectivity to all servers and workstations.

Workstation

If using the software through a Terminal Server session, the workstation requirements do not apply.

WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
Processor	Equivalent to Intel i5 or greater
RAM	4 GB
Hard Disk	Base of 1.5 GB
Other	Screen resolution set to at least 1440 x 900. Internet access available 1 Gbps network connection
