System Requirements

System Requirements

Two installer options are provided with NetCure: full install or client-only install. The minimum recommended hardware and software requirements for each are described below. Note that the requirements for full install are guidelines only since actual requirements vary greatly depending on the size of your network or networks, and the management policies to be applied. For system requirements tailored to your network size and management, please contact a Rocket sales representative or your local NetCure reseller.

NetCure supports full platform interoperability such that any NetCure process running on any platform can connect to any other NetCure process running on any other platform provided the version numbers of the components match.
