Generally speaking, any computer made in the last couple of years will be more than adequate for TeleFlow application development.
Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" description of an ideal TeleFlow production system, as the system requirements will vary greatly depending on what you are doing.
Below are some minimum guidelines (some of which are light enough that you can't even find them anymore) for both development and production servers, in addition to some suggestions for more productive systems. In each case below, keep in mind that anything "newer" or "more powerful" than what is suggested will be more than adequate(Exceptions: For TeleFlow Designer, be sure the operating system is listed as being supported. For TeleFlow Server, ensure the operating system is supported by the telephony hardware you intend to use, and the software TeleFlow currently supports for it).
Contents |
TeleFlow Designer, minimum system requirements
• Intel Pentium 4 PC (Basics: Monitor, sound card, speakers, a microphone for recording audio & testing)
• 80 GB Hard Drive
• Windows 2000 / XP Pro / Server 2003 / Vista operating systems.
TeleFlow Designer, effective full-time developer setup
• A good sound card (we've never gone wrong using Creative/Sound Blaster cards) is highly recommended if you will be doing your own recordings, and for testing using TeleFlow Simulator. Many computers come with integrated sound by default, and although the sound they produce is usually more than adequate, they often make lousy recordings.
• A higher quality microphone can make a difference if you are using your own recordings in production.
• 19"+ dual monitors, and a video card that supports them running side-by-side. (Flowcharting requires more space than other development...)
• 1 GB RAM
TeleFlow Standard Server (not including SR or TTS)
• 2 GHz CPU
• 1 GB RAM
TeleFlow Media Server (with SR and/or TTS)
• 3 GHz CPU (or just about any dual-core or higher)
• 2 GB RAM
• 533 Front Side Bus or faster
Additional System Considerations
Database applications will also require a database management system. MySQL for Windows is a good choice, although most any database accessible using ODBC will work. We highly recommend against using MS Access, as we have encountered numerous problems with Access and ODBC connections to it.
