          General Considerations

          General Considerations for Running Denali

          Network Speeds (Not Internet)

          • Denali is network intensive: having a 1 Gbps, (1000 Mbps) connection is preferred over a 100 Mbps
          • Denali operations more efficiently on wired vs wireless networks.

          Monitor

          • The optimal resolution for Denali is 1920×1080 (4k monitors are not recommend).

          Solid State Drives

          • Use SSD (Solid State Drive) instead of HDD (Hard Disk Drive) to ensure high I/O performance and read and write times.

          CPU- recommendation

          • Intel® Core i3 4th generation (or an equivalent AMD processor)

          Terminal Server

          • Denali can be installed on Windows Servers running Remote Desktop Services or Remote App.
          • Note that some features of the software will not work simultaneously in conjunction with RDS.
          • Example: multiple people printing the same report to screen simultaneously.

          Local Settings

          • Set system date on the local computer to MM/dd/yyyy
          • Set region in Windows to English (United States)

          Notes

          Note: Operating Systems should have the latest available service packs (SPs) from Microsoft®. If you process credit/debit cards using MerchantWARE® TransPort™ (MWT), please be advised that MWT does not support any “Home” versions from Microsoft.
          Note: Data servers should have 4 GB for up to 4 users with an additional 2 GB of RAM per user over 4 (i.e. 5 users would be 6 GB, 6 users would be 8 GB)
          Note: Denali operates with either 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems.

          Windows Support Lifecycle

          • Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019,Windows Server 2022, SQL Server 2014 (on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems) and SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2019, SQL Server 2022 (on 64-bit operating systems) are copyrights of Microsoft®.
          • Denali will remain compatible with the above operating systems until Microsoft ends extended support (EOES) for them. To learn more, read the Microsoft Support Lifecycle.
