Content
The exact configuration you need to support your environment with satisfactory response time will vary, depending on the size of the objects you are working with and other factors. Individual display response times vary depending on workstation speed, memory, size of objects, and network and server workload. The minimum recommended configurations that follow need to be evaluated and adjusted according to your unique requirements. Disk space recommendations are for the product installation and working space only. The actual hard disk space required varies, depending upon your installation. See the hardware and software requirements and announcement letter links below for more information about the IBM Content Manager portfolio.
In addition to the details below, also note this important prerequisite information:
