System RequirementsFamous version 6 is a true client/server application. Network features such as servers, cabling, hubs, topology, and clients all affect overall system performance. Networks configured for simple "file and printer sharing" are frequently inadequate as true client/server platforms. A qualified network engineer should configure your network in order for you to reap the full benefits of Famous software. The following recommendations assume that the Famous database is installed on a dedicated server running no other applications. You may require greater capacities and/or hardware speeds depending on your transaction volume. PLEASE NOTE:
MINIMUM SERVER REQUIREMENTS10 or fewer users
11 to 25 users
26 to 50 users
Please contact Famous Network Services for server specifications for over 50 users. DISK DRIVESFamous recommends utilizing SAS drives (Serial attached SCSI). Although SATA drives are adequate, the reliability and performance of SAS drives is preferred. The minimum disk space required for the Famous database is dependent upon numerous factors - volume of transactions, number of companies, etc. Our recommendation for most new installations is as follows:
EXAMPLE DRIVE CONFIGURATIONS
NOTE: Of these three configurations, RAID 10 offers the best performance. Also, you may wish to consider adding an additional drive to the array configured as a hot spare. INSTALLATION OF ORACLE UPDATESFamous version 6 relies on the integrity and security of the Oracle database. We are a member of the Oracle Partner community, and are registered Oracle licensees. Once tested and approved, Oracle updates are automatically included in the releases you receive from us.REMOTE ACCESSFamous Support requires a native TCP/IP connection to the Famous database server to diagnose and resolve database related issues. Microsoft provides the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) that allows the Famous database server to accept incoming connections. This is the preferred method for providing remote access.We prefer to use the delivered Windows VPN client for connections. We support any VPN that is connectable via that client. We also support in-browser or "light" SSL VPN clients. Unfortunately, we are not able to support the use of third party L2TP/IPSEC clients (such as the SonicWALL Global VPN client or the Cisco VPN client) as they are not interoperable. Presentation applications such as PCAnywhere®, Terminal Services® (Remote Desktop), Citrix®, or VNC® are not sufficient and do not satisfy the remote access requirement. The Famous account requires local administrative privileges. Please contact Famous Support with any questions regarding remote access. CLIENT WORKSTATIONS
