Review hardware requirements
The computer hardware you choose to install and operate your FactoryTalk View SE
System should be adequately sized for the demands of each component. These
specifications are based on the hardware that the FactoryTalk View product and its
supported operating systems require.
Typically, application servers such as FactoryTalk View SE Server, FactoryTalk Alarms
and Events, and RSLinx Enterprise will need to be sized with faster CPUs and more RAM
than operator or engineering workstations. The greater the demand, the more powerful a
system you need.
You should also specify a hard drive that has enough disk space to provide virtual memory
that is at least twice the size of the physical RAM.
For FactoryTalk View software upgrades in this release, we recommend upgrading your
hardware to these levels.
If you plan to deploy a network distributed application that uses more than two servers (or two
pairs of redundant servers) and 20 clients, it is recommended that you contact your local
Rockwell Automation Sales office for architectural assistance. For information about setting up
redundant FactoryTalk View SE Servers, see Chapter 14, Setting up FactoryTalk system
availability in the FactoryTalk View User's Guide VIEWSE-UM006.
