SERVER SECTION

* Only for the DBServer version

• Microsoft Windows Server from 2008 R2
• 8 GB RAM minimum
• RAID disk and stable power connection
• SQL database: Microsoft SQL Server from 2008 R2

A sufficient amount of storage space to hold the databases as well as the attached PDFs and data (1 to 2 GB is usually sufficient).

Network:

When launching a new Citavi project, a very large amount of data is transferred across the network. A fast network (100 to 1000 Mbps) will reduce this opening time. Editing and saving actions -once the project is opened- do not impact the network load.

You will need to open ports on the server side, in order to enable communication between the client and the server sides (port table: Microsoft standard).
