Client and server system requirements

NOTE

Network Advisor is not supported in a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment where the

server and client are on different sides of the NAT Server.

Network Advisor has the following client and server system requirements:

• In the Professional edition, a single server supports a single client, which must be a local client

only.

• In Professional Plus and Enterprise editions, a single server supports a maximum of 25 clients,

which can be local or remote on 32-bit and 64-bit servers.

• In Professional Plus and Enterprise editions, a single server supports a maximum of 25 clients,

which can be local or remote on 64-bit servers. To support more than 8 clients, you must make

the following changes to your configuration:

- Increase the server memory size to 3 GB. You can configure the server memory size from

the Options dialog box, Memory Allocations pane. For instructions, refer to the Network

Advisor User Manual or online help.

- Increase the PostgreSQL database shared buffers memory allocation to 1024 MB by

editing the Install_Home\data\databases\postgresql.conf file.
