* A file server that is not dedicated (i.e., operating as a domain controller, workgroup server, etc.) should have enough RAM to handle all applications being served, with disk-drive capacity and speed to match. A rule of thumb is to double memory with each doubling of users, as the example above indicates. Please contact your representative or software support for more information at
