Server Requirements

The following sections discuss requirements for installing CA Automation Point on a server machine.

Basic CA Automation Point Processing Load

These requirements apply when executing the full server-side programs of CA Automation Point (such as system automation) on a relatively small number of sessions (perhaps with notifications). We recommend that you install the product on a Windows-certified server-class workstation with the following minimum attributes:

High-Volume CA Automation Point Processing Load

These requirements apply when executing a combination of CA Automation Point functions or when the server also has CA NSM installed. This combination of functions may include high levels of system automation, notifications, or web server interaction. We recommend that you install the product on a Windows-certified server-class workstation with the following minimum attributes:

• 2.4 GHz Pentium dual-core processor (or equivalent)
• 4 GB RAM
• 160 GB hard drive

Notification Server Requirements

If you plan to use the notification server component for voice notification, you must install the following hardware and related software:
