All of the above aspects are duly considered as part of the design phase and the implementation team will guide the customer regarding hardware requirements.
Recommended system requirements do not guarantee the best performance so they should be viewed as a guideline rather than a rule. XMPro can be hosted and run from within a Virtual Machine environment, VMWare or Hyper V.
All estimates are based on Minimum Requirements.
As part of the implementation of XMPro, the following should be considered:
- Backup requirements
- Separate development, testing and production environments
