iWay DQC consists of two major components: the server engine and the graphical user interface. Each component has a different set of system requirements.

Server Engine (Core)

The code for the server engine is platform-independent. Therefore, you can run the server engine on almost any platform (combination of operating system and processor architecture), as long as there is a suitable Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for that platform.

The server engine requires JRE 1.4 or later. However, JRE 1.5 or later is recommended. In particular, certain advanced features (namely, the Reporting step) are not available if iWay DQC is run on JRE 1.4.

iWay DQC requires a sufficient amount of memory (at least 256 MB). Large configurations may require up to 1 GB. Additional memory may improve performance of the engine.

iWay DQC also requires enough disk space for temporary files and data. Two to three times the amount of memory for the input data is recommended.

Graphical User Interface

The iWay DQC Graphical User Interface (GUI) is available for Microsoft Windows®. The GUI is bundled with JRE 1.5. No additional pre-installed packages are required.

For optimum performance, a 2 GHz Intel® Pentium-class processor (or equivalent) with 1 GB of memory, and a screen resolution of at least 1024x768, is recommended.

The installed product requires approximately 400 MB of disk space.

The following table summarizes the requirements.
