  2. Actual requirements may vary based on your product configuration, high availability requirements and work load.
  3. Running GINESYS on less than minimum system configuration will have adverse effects on performance.
  4. It is recommended to run GINESYS on good quality branded servers and not on assembled servers.
  5. Desktop operating systems are strictly not supported on Server.
  6. Lower versioned operating systems than mentioned for Server and Workstation are strictly not supported. E.g. Windows 2003, Windows 2008 on Server, Windows XP/Vista on desktop will not be supported.
  7. Service packs and updates as released by Microsoft from time to time should be updated on systems on a regular basis
