TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Server Requirements
The following are technical requirements for
the servers running the One-way Data Transfer
Application and connected to the IL-DD.
Operating System
The following server operating systems are tested
and supported by the Tenix software solutions
and servers:
• Sun Solaris™ Operating Environment 8.0
• Sun Solaris™ Operating Environment 9.0
• Microsoft® Windows 2003 Server
• Microsoft® Windows 2000 Server
with SP2
• Redhat® Linux 7.1
• Redhat® Linux Enterprise Server v3
System Requirements
The Interactive Link Server components have the
following minimum requirements:
• Pentium® 4 or equivalent CPU (for
Windows or Linux)
• SPARC® Processor (for Solaris™)
• 512 Mbytes memory
• 1 Gbyte of free, hard disk storage
Higher server specifications than these will
increase the ability of the system to perform at
greater throughput rates.
The One-way Data Transfer Application
requires the Data Diode.
