Number of Users Knowing the number of users helps prevent access problems and slow response times. For example, if you have more then ten concurrent users, use Windows® Server 2003 or 2008. For more than 25 user, consider upgrading to the full standard edition or enterprise edition of SQL. Microsoft SQL express allows only 25 concurrent connections. When implementing Vault for a single user, you can load all the components on a single computer. Number of Servers When determining the number of servers keep in mind how information flows from the client computer to the Vault server to the SQL server and back. (See How Vault Works). Server Hardware Specifications For the recommended and preferred system requirements see Hardware Requirements on page 15. Vault is more processor intensive than memory intensive like some other applications. Avoid loading Vault components on servers that already have a high CPU usage. Server Operating Systems Vault Server can be loaded on several different operating systems. When deciding to use a non-server operating system, consider the limitations. ■ Windows XP has a limit of ten concurrent users. ■ Windows Vista has a limit of ten concurrent users and three concurrent web service requests. ■ Windows 7 has a limit of ten concurrent users and three concurrent web service requests. Firewalls Firewalls can block incoming requests. During the Vault Server installation, the server is checked for known firewalls. Firewalls can require that you configure them to allow the Vault Server to communicate correctly. Some 20 | Chapter 3 Plan the Vault Environment
