Minimum Hardware Requirements

The minimum CPU and memory requirements for operating the c-treeACE Server for Windows are: a Pentium 133 CPU, and the memory required by Windows Server 2003/XP/Vista plus 2MB RAM (9Mb for the c-treeACE SQL Server). 20Mb is recommended. The minimum CPU and memory requirements for operating the c-treeACE Server for Windows XP 64-bit Edition are: an Itanium CPU, and the memory required by Windows XP 64-bit Edition plus 3MB RAM.

Note: Windows limits application memory space to 2GB.

The minimum hard drive space required by the c-treeACE Server for Windows is:

The size of the c-treeACE Server executable
+ the size of specified communication DLLs
+ the amount specified by the LOG_SPACE keyword (10 MB default)
+ 1MB for c-treeACE Server status logs
+ 3.5MB for the pre-compiled c-treeACE Server utilities
+ the size of the data (.dat) and index (.idx) files

LOG_SPACE <Megabytes>

This is the number of megabytes of disk space allocated to storing active transaction logs, starting with a minimum of 2. The c-treeACE Server maintains up to 4 active log files, which consume, in the aggregate, up to LOG_SPACE megabytes of disk space. Log files are numbered consecutively starting with 1. The log file names are in the form L0000001.FCS.

Default: 10

25 Mb of free disk space is the recommended amount for the best performance.

The Windows Server 2003, XP, and Vista operating systems using NTFS support files up to 4 GB using Standard c-treeACE files, and will support Extended files larger than 4 GB. The Windows FAT32 filesystem supports standard files up to 4 GB and require segmented files to support huge files.
