AceAssets Hardware Requirements

AceAssets is a .NET Client/Server application. The following are hardware and software requirements for running the application.

MS SQL SERVER (2000 SP3, 2005 or 2008)

  • Read/Write access to a local directory on the database server (with sufficient disk space)

  • Ability to copy two files to the local directory mentioned above (remotely?).

  • TCP/IP access to connect to the SQL Server from Client PC location.

  • SQL Server Machine Name (and Instance Name if applicable)

  • Client Login account or group granted access to the database

  • Ability to attach the database files to the SQL Server using sp_attach_db stored procedure. (Note: Only members of the sysadmin and dbcreator fixed server roles can execute this procedure.)

  • A user needs administrator access to the database for any database updates that might be necessary (otherwise IT staff would need to manually run them).

CLIENT PC (Minimum 2GHz CPU, 1GB RAM with XP or Vista)

  • Administrator privileges
  • .Net Framework 2.0 and 3.5 installed - AceAssets Setup will install this if not found.
  • SQL Server Management Studio Express (or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Client Tools)
  • TCP/IP access to the SQL Server
  • AceAsset .NET application

NETWORK BANDWIDTH

Digital Assets are not stored in the database, so the import process does not significantly impact network bandwidth. When publishing, however, the network can become a bottleneck since files must be sent to the client. For this reason, 100-Base or better network connections are recommended. For Wide Area Network (WAN) environments, Citrix or Windows Terminal Services are highly recommended.
