Recommended Hardware of Engineering Base (PC and Server)
Client/Server - Solutions Engineering Base can be used as a true client/server solution. We recommend running the EB application server and the SQL database server on the same computer.
Engineering Base can therefore be used in LAN and WAN environments.
Server Hardware Recommendations
1. For up to 5 users, we suggest the following components for the server:
Processor: 2.8 GHz
Operating system: Windows 2003 Server
Memory: 4 GB
Hard Drive: 2 x 80 GB (1 drive for the SQL Server database file, 1 drive for the SQL Server log file)
2. For up to 20 users, we suggest the following components for the server:
Processor: Dual Core Xeon® 3.0 GHz
Operating system: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition
Memory: 8 GB
Hard Drive: 2 x 80 GB (1 drive for the SQL Server database file, 1 drive for the SQL Server log file)
3. For more than 20 users, we suggest the following components for the server:
Processor: Dual Core Xeon® 3.4 GHz
Operating system: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition 64 Bit
Memory: 32 GB
Hard Drive: 2 x 120 GB (RAID 1, 1 drive for the SQL Server database file, 1 drive for the SQL Server log file)
Remote access to the Engineering Base Database For working from different locations we suggest accessing the database server with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or another secure connection.
The bandwidth should be at least 2 MBit/s (double DSL). Access and user administration protects the database against unauthorized access.
