Hardware and software requirements

Administration Server

Hardware designs are constrained by the need to incorporate standard parts. Specialized hardware components can have much longer lead times for acquisition than is true for software. Hardware design is driven by architectural decisions. More of the architectural work must be done up front compared to software products. Software is a program, such as an operating system or a web browser, that is able to instruct a computer's hardware to perform a specific task. Unlike hardware, software has no physical form.

Minimum hardware requirements:
