CMS and Gateways

The following are requirements for the CMS:

Operating System

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or 2008

CA DLP also supports 64-bit versions of these operating systems.

Database

CA DLP servers need sufficient memory and processing power to run your chosen database application. See your database documentation for details. The supported databases are:

• Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) or 11g (11.1.0.7) or later.
  Oracle 10g users may see improved search and report performance by applying the following Oracle fix 5765456:7. See the following My Oracle Support (formerly Oracle Metalink) notice: "Bug 5040753 Optimal index is not picked on simple query / Column group statistics."
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005
  We recommend SQL Server 2005 SP2
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
  (Not recommended for CMSs)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Note: SQL Server is supported on Windows servers only. Also, for SQL Server 2005, ensure that the SQL Server Browser service has started. See the Database Guide; search the index for ‘SQL Server 2005’.

Windows Installer

Windows Installer 2.0 or later

Disk space

20 GB Ultra ATA or SCSI

This storage estimate covers the CA DLP infrastructure, consoles and captured data (based on typical usage rates). Note:

• The CMS needs sufficient free disk space to store data captured on all client machines.
• A gateway server needs enough free disk space to store data captured on the client machines that it serves. (Note that you can purge this captured data as soon as it has been replicated to the CMS.)

Browser integration

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, or 9.

Note: If using Internet Explorer 8, be aware that because CA DLP is an IE extension, it will be disabled if InPrivate Browsing is enabled (this is an IE safety feature) on the CA DLP host machine.

Console

To run the Administration console, or Data Management console, you require:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, or 9.

Note: If you are installing the Data Management console on Windows 2003 or XP, apply the hotfix described in the following Microsoft knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950094.
