System Requirements

Single User

  • PC based 900 HZ Pentium or faster (XP requires faster processor)
  • 512 MG RAM (somewhat dependant on operating system and other programs you run, 1 Gig for XP Pro or Vista) 
  • 1024 X 768 Resolution minimum for graphics card and monitor.  Satori supports higher resolutions for more information showing on forms and on Appointment Calendar.
  • 50 mg free space on hard drive (initial)
  • RW CD, or flash drive for backups*
  • Win98, Win2000 Workstation or Server, Win NT4.0 Workstation or Server, Win XP Home or Pro, Vista, Win2003 Server

A note about Windows Vista.  While Satori will run on Vista, the Vista environment is not a good operating system for true client server applications that get their data across a network.  If you have a single user version of Satori, you may use Vista at your own risk.  Our tests have showed no improvements over XP, and in many areas, Vista operates slower.  If you have a network version of Satori, we do not recommend Vista at all.  Microsoft itself has documented all the problems with the operating system themselves and you can get more info from their site at http://www.microsoft.com

Networks

  • Same as above with Microsoft Network, network cards and cabling. For information on network setup requirements phone Satori.  More than three computers on a local area network require a dedicated file server.  Click here for advanced network specs
  • A note about wireless networks:  While Satori can run on a wireless network that is fast enough to support it (we recommend N series routers and cards) it is not recommended.  Wired connection to your data will give you the greatest performance.

 

System performance depends greatly on speed of computers and the network.  The above requirements are minimums.  Any new computers on the market today would be sufficient to run Satori.

* Satori's data can be backed up by independent windows backup programs, or you can simply use Windows Explorer to drag files for backup onto the proper backup drive or device.  Many network setups of Satori simply backup the data onto another computer on the network, and periodically create a backup for offsite purposes.  Satori offers secure direct backups onto our FTP servers.   Check our support packages for details.
