LP-System - System Requirements
State September 1st, 2015
A. File server / Database server
Minimum requirements
- Intel Xeon Dual-Core, 4 GB RAM
- Min. 40 GB free on hard disc
- Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 incl. Service packs
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Workgroup Edition incl. Service packs (Notice: the database is not part of the software package)
- For further server software corresponding additional memory is necessary
Recommendation
- Intel Xeon Quad-Core, 8 GB DDR3-RAM
- Redundant discs (RAID 1, RAID 10), SCSI or SAS
- 100 GB disc space or more (2 x 36 GB + 2 x 72 GB)
- Network interface card 1 Gbit-system or faster
- MS Windows Server 2012 R2
- Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition incl. Service packs (Notice: the database is not part of the software package)
- Backup software, possibly with SQL-Backup Agent
- For further server software corresponding additional memory is necessary
B. Terminalserver
According to the functionality of the new windows server operating systems (the terminal services of Windows 2003 Server) it is worth to consider to implement such an environment, especially if you have older workstations which are powerful enough for the daily work but not for the new solution. Moreover this solution is often used because of the easy way to administer the network, the software and the security.
So, if you intend to set in terminal services please discuss this solution with your local system solution provider.
Due to performance and security reasons always a separate server should be used for the terminal server. Only if there are not so many users (up to approx. 5 users) a shared server would be a possible solution. However, here the standard security settings for the directories would have to be adapted restrictively.
Recommendation for a separate server:
- Intel Xeon Quad-Core, min. 8 GB RAM
- Mirrored hard disks, approx. 72 GB
- Network interface card
- MS Windows Server 2012 R2 or Citrix Metaframe
C. Printer
Minimum requirements
- 1 unit, with suitable windows driver
- Connected to the network (e.g. on fileserver, print server)
Recommendation

- Laser printers with more trays can be used
- Connected to the network (e. g. on Fileserver, Print server)
D. Workstation
Minimum requirements
- Intel Xeon 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM
- Graphic card with a resolution of minimum 1024 x 768 pixels

For new providing or completing the recommended hardware should be taken as basis.
If other software products should be used on the computer so corresponding extensions according to their information have to be considered.
We would like to point out that it would be meaningful to have a certain inventory of replacement hardware in stock, in order to counteract possible breakdowns (e.g. defects, theft).
