5. OPNET VNE Server
will not operate on machines with the Intel Itanium processor.
6. For best performance, deployment on a 64-bit operating system is highly recommended.
7. OPNET VNE server performance will improve with more available memory as network
size increases.
8.
Disks should be 10K or 15K RPM drives, SATA or SAS.
9.
Front-Side Bus (FSB) speed affects the speed of data transfer to and from
the OPNET VNE Server database; faster bus speeds will improve OPNET VNE Server performance.
VNE Server Data Storage
VNE Server is not designed and tested to use shared disks (via a network filesystem or SAN) for its data storage requirements (see note). For this reason, OPNET requires users to install VNE Server on local disk partitions. OPNET believes this restriction will provide our customers with both reliable and consistent performance.
Note: VNE Server's data storage requirements include but are not limited to (a) root installation directory, (b) data storage server directories, (c) temporary directory, (d) configuration archive directory, and (e) keystore directory.
User Authentication
Supports the following methods of user authentication and management: Local, RADIUS, TACACS+, Active Directory, and LDAP.
