You must obtain a server that meets the following minimum requirements:

• 2190 MHz Multi-core processor

  Note:

  AE Services 5.2.x and later software supports Symmetrical Multiprocessing. AE Services, however, is a network-centric application and not a processor-intensive application. Adding more processors will not necessarily increase the capacity or performance of the platform.

• 4 GiB RAM, minimal requirement:

  • 4 GiB RAM for customers who support 10,000 simultaneous MOC/LCS users or a sustained processing rate of 720 TSAPI messages per second.

  • 6 GiB RAM for customers who support 20,000 simultaneous MOC/LCS users or a sustained processing rate of 1,000 TSAPI messages per second.

• 55 GiB free disk space, after installing Linux

  Note:

  • A gibibyte = 1024³ and gigabyte = 1000³

  • If you choose to set up the /var directory as a file system to improve reliability, Avaya recommends at least another 9.5 GiB for the /var partition. For more information, see Installing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux software for AE Services.

  • AE Services does not support vFAT type partition.

• Hard disk drive with at least 7200 rpm rating

• 512 KB L2 cache

• For Communication Manager over CLAN, 100 BaseT Ethernet NIC, which can either be locked to 100M / full, choose Auto–Negotiation to achieve 100M / full.

• For Communication Manager connection over Processor Ethernet 1000 Mbps BaseT Ethernet NIC, choose Auto–Negotiation to achieve 1000 Mbps/ full.

• DVD/CD-ROM drive
