AMB™ System Requirements

AMB™ is a completely "Real Time" "Transaction Based" accounting system. As such, the performance of the workstations and the size of your hard disk will be important. AMB™ is a 32 bit "Client/Server" application using Oracle's "Standard Edition" database. The database can be stored on a number of platforms but we expect most clients will be using Windows® 2003 or Windows® 2008 Server operating systems. In most cases, it is advisable to utilize a separate server for AMB™. Requirements listed are for on-site, non-virtural servers only. Please call for information regarding remote or virtual servers.

AMB™ System Requirements
File Server The "Client/Server" architecture of the system demands a capable file server. We recommend the following:

Processor - Xeon® dual- or quad-core processor, 2GHz or better.

Ram - 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended (32 bit)
        - 8 GB recommended for 64 bit servers
Hard Disk Capacity: 73GB minimum, 147GB recommended.

More space will be required if images are to be stored on the same drive.

We recommend using Ultra Wide SCSI II or SCSI III drives. A RAID configuration is preferred but not required.
Web Server If purchasing the Web-Based Branch Reporting module, a web server will be required. The requirements for the server depend on the expected load it will experience. We recommend a server meeting the following guidelines, depending on load:

Light Load Medium Load Heavy Load
Processor Pentium 4 class dual core, 1.8 GHz or better Xeon dual core, 2.0 GHz or better Xeon quad core, 2.2 GHz or better
RAM 2GB DDR2 4GB DDR2 8GB DDR2
Hard Drive 120GB SATA 250GB SAS 500GB SAS
Operating System Windows® Server 2003 (note: Windows® Server 2003 Web Edition is not sufficient) or Windows® Server 2008
Software IIS with Active Server Pages enabled
.Net Framework version 4.0
Oracle client installed and configured
Server Operating System We recommend the Windows® 2008R2 Server Operating systems from Microsoft®.

File Structure - NTFS

Communication Protocol - TCPIP
  
"Client"/Workstation We recommend a Pentium® Core i3 better with at least 4 GB of RAM.

Most new machines are being configured at least 300GB hard disk space. We recommend that at least 50GB of local hard disk space be available on each client workstation.
Workstation Operating System We support Windows® XP Professional, Windows® Vista, and Windows® 7. Earlier operating systems will not be supported.
Client Monitor Must support a screen resolution of at least 1024 by 768 pixels
