(1) The number of users refers to the average number of concurrent users on the system at any one time. This should include agents and 1-2 percent of the total number of customers (if using Numara FootPrints for customer service). So, if you have 20 agents and 1000 customers using customer self-service, 30-40 users should be counted. This is only a rough guide. Actual load on the system is dependent upon your usage of Numara FootPrints.

(2) In all cases, Xeon or Opteron CPUs should be used .

(3) Windows 2003 Standard (SP2 and R2) supports up to 4 processors and 4 GB RAM. Windows 2008 (32-bit) supports up to 4 GB RAM and (64-bit) supports up to 32 GB RAM

(4) Windows 2003 Enterprise (SP2 and R2) supports up to 8 processors and 64 GB RAM. Windows 2008 (32-bit) supports up to 64 GB RAM and (64-bit) supports up to 2 TB RAM.

(5) Windows 2003 DataCenter supports up to 32 processors and 64 GB RAM. Windows 2008 (32-bit) supports up to 64 GB RAM and (64-bit) supports up to 2 TB RAM.

(6) “Sample Server” is not intended to be an inclusive list of authorized hardware or vendors, but examples of possible servers that can be used.
