Reviewing system requirements

Replication Server requires Windows 2000 or 2003, with the system configuration described in Table 2-1.

**Table 2-1: System requirements for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003**
Item	Requirement
CPU	A Pentium processor.
Disk storage	A minimum of 350MB of available hard disk space: 50MB for RSM Server. 20MB for Sybase Central for Windows and the Replication Server plug-in for Sybase Central. An additional 20MB for each Replication Server disk partition. The disk partition may be on a different disk than your Sybase software. One of the following: Disk space for your Adaptive Server Enterprise database, which will serve as your Replication Server System Database (RSSD) if you are not using the Embedded RSSD. See your Adaptive Server Enterprise documentation for system requirements. 80MB for your Adaptive Server Anywhere database, which will serve as your Embedded Replication Server System Database (ERSSD). The database directory, transaction log directory, and backup directory that make up the 80MB should each reside on different disks. More disk space may be required, depending on your replication system application.
Operating system	Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or later. Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 or later.
Additional hardware	A network interface card that is compatible with Windows 2000 or 2003. Sybase recommends a 32-bit card for improved performance.
