RMS Enterprise - Installation Checklist
RMS Enterprise Installation Checklist
Overview
RMS Enterprise is a true enterprise-level application, and has specific minimum system requirements that
must be met to ensure a successful deployment.
This section is provided to ensure that all the necessary prerequisites are met, and that the necessary
configuration options are identified prior to the installation of the RMS Enterprise server and RMS Database
server.
The system requirements provided in this section represent the results of AMX testing. Follow
these guidelines to ensure that RMS Enterprise will perform successfully.
It is highly recommended that you read this document in its entirety before commencing an
installation of RMS Enterprise. If, after reading this document you have specific questions about
the requirements of your RMS system, please contact AMX Technical Support for assistance.
Understanding Minimum System Requirements
Note that the overall performance of RMS Enterprise is a result of the server hardware and operating system
used, as well as it’s configuration. Other factors include the number of Locations, Assets and Users in the
system, as well as how the system is used.
For example, as stated under Supported Database Platforms (see page 8), the "Express Editions" of Microsoft
SQL Server are appropriate to use for RMS Enterprise systems with less than 50 locations. While this is true in
most cases, it is important to note that an installation with a small number of rooms could be configured in
such a way that it will generate a large amount of traffic to and from the server. As an example, a system with
50 locations, each of which contains a large number of devices with many control and monitoring functions
running constantly, would certainly require at least the Standard version (possibly the Enterprise version) of
Microsoft SQL Server in order to perform adequately, due to the large amount of traffic that would be
generated.
When considering the server hardware to use with RMS Enterprise, it is important to understand not only the
current requirements of the installation, but to also account for any potential upwards scaling of the system in
the future. For example, an installation initially configured to manage less than 50 locations can use an
"Express Edition" of Microsoft SQL Server. However, the "Express Editions" will no longer be appropriate, if
and when more locations are added.
It is crucial that RMS Enterprise is deployed on systems that meet or exceed all of the
requirements outlined in this section. Installing RMS Enterprise on systems that do
not meet these minimum requirements may result in poor performance or loss of
functionality. Note that AMX Technical Support must assume that these requirements
have been met in order to provide effective assistance.
