Mobility XE System Requirements

Below is an overview of hardware and software requirements for Mobility XE Mobile VPN client and server software.

Mobility XE Server Components:

Organizations that wish to evaluate Mobility XE or customers with deployments of less than 100 clients can deploy all of the server software components on a single server platform. In larger deployments, the components should be installed on separate server platforms.

• Mobility server: The termination point for client VPN connections.
• Mobility warehouse: A directory that serves as the settings and management backbone for a Mobility server or pool of servers.
• Mobility Analytics Module: An optional server that collects logs and performance data from the other Mobility servers and stores the information for reporting purposes. For more information on the Analytics Module, see this link: Analytics Module

Operating System Support:

Server Operating Systems

• Windows Server 2003
• Windows Server 2008 R2
   

Client Operating Systems

• Windows 7
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP
• Windows Mobile
• Windows CE

Minimum Server Hardware Requirements:

Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)

• CPU: x86-compatible Pentium® 4 dual-core processor, 2.0 GHz or better
• RAM: 3 GB
• Free disk space: 10 GB
   

Windows Server 2008 R2

• CPU: Dual-core x64 processor (Xeon, Opteron, or similar), 2.0 GHz or faster
• RAM: 4 GB
• Free disk space: 20 GB

Dual or quad processor systems should be used so that the Mobility servers can provide optimal performance. Beyond four processors you will not see better performance by adding CPUs/cores; choose faster processor speeds instead. Intel’s Itanium processors are not supported.
