CSM 4.01 Server Requirements

[jaysoo]

In the documentation for CSM 4.01 under server requirements it says:

"Strongly Recommended: Windows 2008 Enterprise Server (Service Pack 2)—64 bit".

I've already installed it on 2003, but I was wondering if I should make the effort to go to 2008. I'm at a point where I can still flat the whole thing and start again if necessary.

Thanks.

Hi,

I definitely recommend Win2008 and 64 bit system. We had some good performance improvement on 64bit plus the roadmap indicates that we will improve even more by exploiting the capability of 64bit. So you might find convenient to transition now

Hey thanks a lot for your reply, I had given up on getting an answer from anyone. I'll definitely take your advice and start again using 2008. I've only got 4 devices added to CSM so far but it is still dog slow even though the server was a clean install with nothing else on it and I followed the "best practices". It also meets the minimum requirements (50 quad-core CPUs, 300 terabytes of RAM etc), but may 2008 will help.

Thanks again.
