Hardware and Software Requirements for Clients pre-11.3INTRODUCTIONMinimum Hardware Requirements StatementAny recommendations regarding personal computers, servers and applications which may beimplemented using RMG Networks software are based on RMG's experience and understandingof the customers' intended use of RMG products. As with any computer-based system, individualrequirements and performance may vary. The optimal configuration of software and hardwaremay depend on a variety of factors, such as the configuration of the RMG software installed,outbound message activity, number and complexity of applications monitored, the size andcomplexity of the user program options selected, the amount and rate of delivery of the data tothe personal computer where the Enterprise Server (ES) system resides by other computersystems, and many other factors.This document outlines specific selected products and application usage to determine therecommended minimum PC configurations for RMG client and server software. Unless otherwisespecified, customer is responsible for provision and setup of any network/LAN devices and/orconnections.Hardware that does not meet the minimum requirements may result in varying degrees ofperformance degradation. RMG Technical Support may require bringing the hardware platforminto compliance with stated specifications before support can be provided.Page 3 of 24

Hardware and Software Requirements for Clients pre-11.3Multihome NetworkConfigurationVirtual EnvironmentsInstallation NotesNot SupportedSee Virtual Environments section below. Virtual Environmentsare NOT recommended if using SES 11.x Data Aggregations orServer Side Filtering.The MAC address of the SES server PC will be required togenerate the Symon software license. 11.2 and above doesnot require the MAC address.At the time of installation, an Administrator's account isrequired to install the Symon software.Assignment of a static IP address for the SES server is required.SES must be on a server that is on a domain, and Symon clientapplications running on client desktop PCs must be on thesame domain. 11.2 and above supports cross domain usage.SES may need exclusions from real-time virus scan and otherthird party scanning software for Symon directories, file folders,the file content therein and some running processes . Specificdetails on folder structure and running processes to potentiallyexclude is available upon request.SES must be installed on a server that is dedicated to run theSymon system. The server resources (CPU, memory, file system,database, web server etc.) cannot be shared or used by anyother application or system.The SES Server may be virtual or standalone. Please refer toServer Software Virtual Environments section later in thisdocument.Customer is responsible for all backups of SES server operatingsystem, software configurations and software data afterimplementation.Symon solutions are designed for efficient scalability; protocolrequirements vary by the type(s) and scope of applications inuse. Contact a Symon representative for details.Please note: If using any of the ADM (Advanced DataManagement) features available in SES 11.x Data Studio,Symon recommends installing SES on a non-virtual, standaloneserver to ensure optimal performance. This recommendationmay become a requirement at any time under the followingconditions:1. If using ADM’s Entity Management feature with realtime data aggregations or Server Side filtering features2. If required by Symon as part of the SolutionDesign/Architectures to meet customer needs3. If required by Symon to resolve SES performance issuesPage 6 of 24

Hardware and Software Requirements for Clients pre-11.3attributed to inadequate system resourcesIf you are unsure if you will be utilizing ADM and ADM’s effecton your Server choice please contact a Symon representative.To achieve optimal performance, customer understands thatthey are responsible to accommodate Symon’s possiblerecommendations to decrease the processing time on theSymon server, which may include but is not limited to,installation of SQL 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise, preprocessing calculations before being sent to the Symon Server,increasing refresh rates to decrease queries on the SymonServer, etc.Customer is responsible for all backups after implementation.Symon solutions are designed for efficient scalability; protocolrequirements vary by the type(s) and scope of applications inuse.

Symon will only make this request when there isreason to believe that the Virtual Environment is a contributingfactor to the issue.Any time spent on investigation of problems that may, in the soleopinion of Symon, be related to the Virtual Environment, will behandled in the following fashion:1) Symon will provide standard support to all Symon Serverproducts.2) If a problem is encountered while Symon Server products arerunning in a Virtual Environment, the Customer may be required torecreate the problem on a non-Virtual Environment, at which timeSymon will provide regular support.If the Customer is unable/unwilling to recreate the problem in thenon-Virtual Environment, Company shall not be required to providenormal support. However, the client can authorize Symon toinvestigate the Virtual Environment related items for an additionalcharge of Symon’s normal Technical Support rates for non-coveredissues. If such investigation shows that the problem is VirtualEnvironment related, the client may contract with Symon to providePage 15 of 24

Hardware and Software Requirements for Clients pre-11.3a software change to resolve the issue if such a resolution ispossible.3) Regardless of the problem type or source, if the problem isultimately determined to be a non-Virtual Environment related issue- time spent on investigation and resolution will be covered as partof regular maintenance, and support will be provided as usual,without requiring the client to pay the charges mentioned above,unless the issue was due to another factor that is not covered underSymon’s normal support.SES 10.2, SES 11.0, SES 11.2Application VersionsSymon Solutions are networked applications.

Citrix/Novell networks arenot supported.NetworkNetworkingNotes-The Symon Server and media players (SDAs) require networkconnections using standard Cat 5 or 6 cabling and a networksupporting IP v4. This network connection must be able to accessnecessary servers , systems, data sources and the internet. This is fordata feeds, event interfaces, applicable content subscriptions andremote access.-Customer shall supply appropriate internet connection connectivity forCompany provided solution.-Company’s Symon OnTarget content requires HTTP over TCP/IPcommunication using Port 80.
