CMS and Gateways

Note the following requirements for the CMS and gateway servers:

Operating System

The CMS and gateways are included in the server.msi and server_x64.msi installation packages.

Database

CA Data Protection servers need sufficient memory and processing power to run your chosen database application. See your database documentation for details.

Note: SQL Server is supported on Windows servers only. Verify that the SQL Server Browser service has started.

Disk space

20 GB

This storage estimate covers the CA Data Protection 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.)

Consoles

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or 9.
