1 VNE server performance will improve with more available memory as network size increases.
2 A dual-processor configuration is recommended.
3 Front-Side Bus (FSB) speed affects the speed of data transfer to and from the VNE Server database; faster bus speeds will improve VNE Server performance.
VNE Server is configured to perform its own data management by default. Users migrating from VNE Server 4.0 may choose to instead use their Oracle database for data management. In this case, note the following system requirements related to Oracle.
