| Traction® TeamPage™ and Traction® TeamPage™ Feed Reader products are 100% pure Java standalone server applications that run on Windows, Linux, Solaris, or Mac OS X computers, as well as any other machine for which a compatible version a Java VM is available (see below). There are no pre-requisites other than a supported operating system. After running the installer, Traction is easily set up and managed using a web browser interface. |
| The software is packaged with a standalone interactive installer that can be downloaded from Traction's web site, and includes both the Traction software and a run-time edition of a compatible JavaVirtual Machine for common architectures. |
| The Traction TeamPage FAST Module is installed separately from Traction TeamPage Server and has its own operating system requirements. See Server Operating System Requirements, below. |
| Recommended Server Hardware - Traction® TeamPage5™ and Traction® TeamPage15™ |
Processor: Intel, AMD, Sun SPARC, or Macintosh (PowerPC G5 or Intel) computer 2Ghz (2 core minimum)
Disk space: 10GB free disk space (minimum). Recommended disk space, see below.
RAM: 4GB (minimum) Additional RAM is helpful and recommended for TeamPage Unlimited deployments
For use in combination with QL2's WebQL module - Traction TeamPage requires 64-bit hardware and a 64-bit OS |
| Recommended Server Hardware - Traction® TeamPage™ Server |
Processor: Multiprocessor / multi-core 64-bit Intel, AMD, or Sun SPARC computer 2Ghz (2 core minimum)
Disk space: 10GB free disk space (minimum). Recommended disk space, see below.
RAM: 4GB (minimum) Additional RAM is helpful and recommended for TeamPage Unlimited deployments
For use in combination with QL2's WebQL module - Traction TeamPage requires 64-bit hardware and a 64-bit OS |
| Traction® TeamPage™ products can be run on shared server hardware, but like all web server software, its responsiveness will be determined by the number of simultaneous users. Recommended configurations works well for workgroups of 500 or more users, depending on their usage pattern. TeamPage products make good use of muiti-core and multi-processor configurations to provide responsive performance under highly variable load. |
| If Traction is run on shared server hardware, at least the recommended free RAM and sufficient processor resources should be available. We don't recommend hosting Traction on a server which is also hosting another CPU intensive database or web server application. |
| Estimating recommended disk space |
| Disk space minimum requirements are for Traction TeamPage software, online help, swap files and a small TeamPage database (about 1000 pages / posts + image attachments). The operational minimum space for a Traction TeamPage deployment is roughly: |
| The minimum Traction TeamPage requirement, plus |
| Total number of pages / posts times average size of a page or post (typically 1KB to 10KB of text), plus |
| Space for all files posted as attachments or stored in Traction TeamPage web folders. File sizes typically range from 25KB to several MB range for office documents, pictures, .pdfs - and much more for video / audio files. In many cases, storage space for attachments greater that all other storage requirements - depending on the customer use case. |
| We recommend at having at lease 2x the estimated operational minimum disk space free to allow for efficient backup, operation, and maintenance of the Traction TeamPage installation. |
| Server Operating System |
| For Traction TeamPage, The server operating system must be capable of running a Java 2 Virtual Machine. 64-bit computer hardware and operating system configurations are recommended for Traction TeamPage Server, and required for deployments where QL2 Software's WebQL is integrated with Traction TeamPage. Please contact TSI for information on TeamPage Server deployment options and other platforms. |
