L300/L230/L130 User Manual

System Requirements
The minimum recommended system specifications for a vSpace installation can be very minimal. The host PC
may only need 1-2 GB of memory, a 2.4 GHz single-core processor, and less than 100 MB of free hard drive
space to run a few users. However the number of users, intended application suite and overall performance
expectation will ultimately determine how powerful a computer must be in order to deliver the desired multi-
user experience.
Note: It is not advised to use a notebook PC as the host. Notebooks use power-saving features and technologies different
than a typical desktop PC. This may cause power management and memory incompatibilities.

The table below gives recommended specifications for a vSpace host computer, based on number of users
and the type of applications used. NComputing recommends you test your environment in advance of
deployment to ensure it meets your expectations.

* For the L-Series access terminal, the maximum number of users is 30. The number of users a customer's installation will
support depends upon the host's configuration and performance expectations of the customer. Performance results are highly
dependent upon the individual host hardware, memory, video card, applications being used, OS and network conditions within
any LAN/WAN. Host requirements will vary, please test your multi-user environment before deployment. For more information
on supporting multiple simultaneous multimedia streams see the document "Configuring an L300 Multiuser Environment".
