About This Chapter

About This Chapter 1

This chapter describes the hardware and software platform requirements for the
Siebel eCommunications client and the Siebel Tools client. Required software are
those products (operating systems, web browsers, and database connectivity
software) that must be installed separately by the user on the client machine in
order to achieve basic Siebel functionality. A comprehensive list of all ancillary and
supported third-party software may be found in the Appendix.

Supported Client Deployment Options 1

Siebel users can access Siebel eCommunications through a number of different


client types (deployment options). Client deployment options differ by the amount
and type of software installed on the client machine, the application functionality
available to the user, and the network requirements.

The following client deployment options are supported in this release of Siebel
eCommunications:

 Dedicated clients that connect directly to the Siebel Database Server, Siebel
Marketing Datamart, and Siebel Enterprise Server over a network.

 Dedicated clients that operate as mobile users with a local database. Periodically
these users will connect to the Siebel Enterprise Server over a network in order
to synchronize changes with the Siebel Database Server.

 Siebel Thin Client for Windows, which connects directly to the Siebel Enterprise
Server that accesses the Siebel Database Server on its behalf.

 Siebel HTML Thin Client, which operates within a Web browser and connects to
a Web server that in turn accesses the Siebel Enterprise Server and Database
Server.

 WML Thin Clients operating within a wireless web browser, connecting to a web
server that, in turn, accesses the Siebel Enterprise Server and Database Server.

Supported Client Platforms
Client Hardware Requirements

Client Hardware Requirements 1

Table 1-1 lists the minimum client hardware specifications for the Siebel client
options. While Siebel Systems has tested for acceptable performance on these
hardware configurations, they should be considered absolute minimum
requirements for deploying Siebel eCommunications. The use of faster processors
and additional memory is highly recommended for even better performance,
particularly in environments where users run multiple applications simultaneously.

Table 1-1. Minimum Client Hardware Requirements

Client Type Minimum Hardware Requirements

RAM for Win 95, 98, or 2000; 80 MB for Windows NT
4.0.

Siebel Thin Client for Windows Intel-compatible PC with 133 MHz CPU. 32 MB of
RAM for Win 95, 98, or 2000; 48 MB for Windows NT
4.0.

Client Network Requirements 1

Siebel clients operating directly against the server database require a LAN or WAN
connection to the Siebel Database Server and the Siebel File System. The network
protocol used must be supported by the server database and the Siebel File System
platforms.

Siebel clients that use interactive components on the Siebel Enterprise Server
require TCP/IP connectivity to the Siebel Enterprise Server. These clients include:

 Siebel Server Manager


 Siebel Assignment Manager
 Siebel Request Manager
Siebel Thin Client and Siebel Remote clients also require TCP/IP connectivity to the
Siebel Enterprise Server.

For some thin client deployments, Siebel traffic can be tunneled through HTTP. If
connectivity is achieved by dial-in, a 28.8 kbps or faster modem is required.

About This Chapter

About This Chapter 2

This chapter describes the hardware and software platform requirements for the
middle-tier Siebel Enterprise Server. A comprehensive list of all ancillary and
supported third-party software may be found in the Appendix.

Siebel Enterprise Server Hardware Requirements 2

The minimum hardware configuration for Siebel Enterprise Server consists of the
following:

 Windows NT. An Intel-compatible machine with a fast Pentium Pro or Xeon


processor and 256 MB of RAM.

 Solaris. A machine with 256 MB of RAM running on UltraSPARC processors


compatible with the V8 plus or later instruction set.

 AIX. A machine with 256 MB of RAM running on IBM PowerPC or compatible


processors.

These are the minimum requirements to complete the installation of Siebel


eCommunications.

The number of servers and the CPU and memory resources required for operation
of Siebel eCommunications will increase with the number and types of users and
Siebel modules deployed. Siebel Enterprise Server components fully exploit faster
CPUs and more memory. More powerful application servers, with four or more
Xeon-class processors and 2-4 GB RAM or more are highly recommended,
particularly for interactive components such as the Application Object Manager or
Siebel Remote.

Approximately 150 MB of disk space is required on each application server for


installation of the Siebel Enterprise Server software. In addition, servers operating
the Siebel Remote components require 15 MB of usable disk space for each mobile
user. A RAID level 1 or 5, or a comparable high-availability disk configuration,
including redundant RAID controllers, is strongly recommended for all Siebel
Enterprise Server machines, and is critical for those operating Siebel Remote
components.
