- Operating system:
- Sun Solaris™ 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, or 9 for Sun UltraSPARC® processors
- SCO® OpenServer™ 5 for Intel® Pentium® processors
- HP®-UX® 10.20 or 11i for PA-RISC processors
- Red Hat® Linux® 7.2
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0
- Server hardware:
- Your CPU selection should be based on cost, number of interviewers the server needs to support, and potential for growth:
- SCO OpenServer or Linux: Pentium-class processor running at 200MHz or faster.
- Sun Solaris: Sun Ultra Series processor or faster
- HP-UX operating system: HP 9000 server or faster.
- Console monitor: Monochrome or color
- Tape backup device: RAID disk drives to back up your data
- Memory: 20 MB minimum for 50 interviewers. View memory recommendations to support various configurations.
- Modem: Should be connected to a phone line so that it is accessible by SPSS Support for dial-up assistance.
- Network adapter and USB: Optional, but strongly recommended
- Terminal hardware:
- Terminal servers: Either multi-port internal cards or separate terminal server boxes etherlinked to the UNIX machine. We suggest the latter for greater flexibility.
- Terminals: Either dumb terminals (for example a Wyse 60 terminal) or PCs with Telnet software.
- Minimum free disk space: 2 GB with separate partitions for the operating system and users/production.
- Minimum RAM: 16 MB
- System administration: A knowledgeable UNIX® system administrator. Your hardware vendor may have names of sites offering training.
- C compiler user licenses: Needed to compile the sample management system (SMS):
- The GNU C compiler supplied on the Quancept CATI CD-ROM is recommended for all operating systems
- Sun UltraSPARC processors: Sun C compiler or the GNU C compiler
- SCO® OpenServer® 5: OpenServer Development System. Do not order the OpenServer Development Kit, as the compiler contained in the kit is a UnixWare® compiler and will not work with SPSS Inc. software.
- HP 9000 servers: HP-UX C compiler
