Prerequisites

Hardware

PC with Intel Pentium processor or equivalent, 200 MHz or faster.

• 64 Mb RAM minimum (128 Mb recommended) plus 2-6 Mb per Reality user. See also Memory.

• 500 Mb of available disk space to accommodate setup (actual hard disk used once installed will be between 150 Mb and about 350 Mb, depending on the system components installed).

• The Reality database can be loaded on to a Primary Domain Controller, Backup Domain Controller, stand-alone member server or WorkStation.

• NEC can take no responsibility on the processor and memory requirements of other applications running on a Windows server. Ideally, Reality should be loaded on a dedicated server.

• Reality backup and restore is supported on 4 mm, 8 mm and DLT tape units.

• Using at least a dual processor system is highly recommended.

Software

• Refer to the Reality Release Information for details of which versions of Windows are supported.

• It is recommended that Reality is installed on an NTFS partition.

Memory

Reality memory usage is difficult to predict, but as a rough sizing guide use 128 Mb for the system and then 2-6 Mb per user, depending on type of user and application. Performance problems are generally caused by lack of memory. If the server is not dedicated to Reality then other application memory requirements must be added to this.
