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

which can be local on a 64-bit server 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. 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.
