Recommended System Requirements
SPEED® will run on Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.
SPEED® is a low impact program which uses very little RAM memory and only as much Hard Drive space as the databases need as they grow in size with the data.
SPEED® runs on ADP/Kerridge KCML and the only service which is required is TCP/IP.
The KCML Language uses approx 20Mb of Hard Drive space and creates 3 new services "out of the box". It also uses at least 1 port of your choosing for a web based manager and for the Client/Server communications. It is a 32-bit program and should be run on a 32-bit (or higher) platform.
The SPEED® 8.x database utilities and applications (based on our large demo system with 15 unique applications) takes approx 125Mb of hard drive space. User files would be added on top of this number.
We recommend the following for the Server:
 | 1 Gb RAM memory (of course, the more
the better), adding about 10 Mb of RAM memory for each GUI user/session
or 1 Mb of RAM memory for each Text user/session |
| 2 hard drives (for recommended
mirroring) of at least 100 Gb (depending on how large the databases will grow
to) |
| Windows 2000 or higher, or Linux/Unix
(Windows Server is NOT required) |
| a fast TCP/IP network (you do not want people waiting around for communication between server and client) |
We recommend the following for the Client:
| 1 Gb RAM memory (of course, the more
the better) |
| 1 hard drive with at least 10 Mb of
hard drive space |
| Windows 98 SE or higher, or Linux/Unix
(Windows is NOT required) |
| a fast TCP/IP network (you do not want people waiting around for communication between server and client) |
Currently, we do have the following examples of EndUsers running on:
| 25 users running 3 sessions each on
Windows XP on a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 single core with 1 Gb RAM and an 80 Gb hard drive. |
| 128 users running about 60-70 users at any given time using about 400 Mb of RAM memory on a dual-processor Linux system |
Kerridge recommends the following for KPrint:
| A PC running Windows 98 SE or higher,
or Citrix NT3.51 or higher. Depending on the amount of printing, a dedicated
machine should be considered |
| At least 32Mb RAM memory. If large
print jobs are being printed, more memory may be required |
| 1 hard drive with at least 10 Mb of
hard drive space. Again, if large print jobs are being printed, a larger
hard drive may be needed for the Print Spool |
| a fast TCP/IP network (you do not
want people waiting around for communication between server and client) |
| A laser printer, preferably connected directly to the TCP/IP network, and NOT using a low-bandwidth connection |
