AMB™ System Requirements

AMB™ is a completely "Real Time" "Transaction Based" accounting system. As such, the performance of the workstations and the size of your hard disk will be important. AMB™ is a full 32 bit product incorporating the Oracle database. The database can be stored on a number of platforms but we expect most clients will be using Windows® 2000 or Windows® 2003 Server operating systems. In most cases, it is advisable to utilize a separate server for AMB™. Requirements listed are for on-site, non-virtural servers only. Please call for information regarding remote or virtual servers.
