See the Fast Track Reference Guide for detailed recommendations on system memory configurations.
Quickstart Software
In collaboration with Microsoft, Dell developed a wizard to simplify deploying the Quickstart appliance.
The wizard configures the Quickstart appliance based on best practices of Microsoft Fast Track Data
Warehouse for SQL Server 2012 Guidelines, and ensures the appliance is properly connected to the
target domain and installed with the appropriate administrators.
Additionally, Dell has developed an internal disaster recovery system for the Quickstart Data
Warehouse that allows the user to set the appliance back to the original factory state, regardless of
the state of the operating system.
