Unibase Technical Specifications

Microsoft Client and Server Systems

Unibase by DMAC runs on Microsoft supported Windows products. Unibase by DMAC stays up to date with Microsoft Update changes. Currently Microsoft supports Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. In the latest production release of Unibase these operating systems, with updates, are supported.

Windows 7 Professional and Windows 2008 Servers work well. Starting with the Windows 2000 operating systems, most Unibase by DMAC users experienced reliable computer operation. Of course cpu speed and ram size affect performance.

Windows XP Home is not for networks. Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP Home work very well with Unibase by DMAC -- but only as a standalone computer. XP Home has issues in a network in DMAC's opinion. Again, cpu speed and ram size are important here. Any new computer should have plenty of both.

Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 have issues. Many of the newer features of Unibase by DMAC and Unibase Imaging work well on Windows 2000 workstations. Some new features, such as the picklist verb, encounter known Microsoft product weaknesses (bugs) on older operating systems.

Windows 2003 and 2008 Server Families are today's workhorses. The server of choice today is the Windows 2008 server product family (Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter Edition). This family, and the Windows 2003 family, support remote terminal services which DMAC sees as the best way to provide web based data entry at this time. This server family is reliable and totally scalable. DMAC has run Windows 2003 servers on under $500 computer hardware systems with no problems.

Windows 7 and XP Professional makes good workstations. Windows 7 and XP Professional purchased newly installed on a computer or installed as an upgrade to Windows Home makes an excellent network workstation. With new hardware costs down to under $500, this software / inexpensive hardware configuration cannot be beat. But, upgrading to Windows XP or Windows 7 Professional from a prior version or Windows XP Professional prior to service pack 2 can be a nightmare. If you doubt, see the web for comments about what is needed in the next major release, if any, of Windows XP Professional. DMAC's guess, and other's guess too, is that the upgrade process is not perfect ---yet.

Summary of Specifications

Modern computer hardware does not limit Unibase by DMAC. Almost any new hardware which will run Microsoft Windows 7, Vista or XP is fine for running Unibase by DMAC. DMAC tries to make sure that the older operating systems can still run the features which they ran when they were new.
