Example Production System Configurations

The following table represents some business-critical production system hardware configurations as at July 2007. These are intended as indicative examples only.

More-powerful configurations may be required, depending on the scale of your JADE applications and the performance requirements of your system.

In the following table, all CPUs are Intel or Intel-compatible.
