Minimum Hardware Requirements

Lexis Visualfiles Corporate Counsel v2 allows a SQL database to act as its data repository.

Lexis Visualfiles Corporate Counsel recommend obtaining specifications for SQL database servers and the edition of SQL to suit their particular requirements from their own SQL suppliers. Due consideration should also be given to how many SQL Databases are running on the Live Database server.

If Auditing is to be utilised within the Lexis Visualfiles Corporate Counsel application then the server should contain a minimum of 2gb RAM.

Lexis Visualfiles Corporate Counsel currently supports connection to SQL 2000 and 2005.

Thin Client Servers

We have detailed our standard requirements for Thin Client Servers below.

Please note that Metaframe from Citrix is not mandatory – Lexis Visualfiles Corporate Counsel is supported on Windows Terminal Services. Microsoft are continually improving Terminal Services so we would advise users to decide if the additional features and functionality provided by Citrix would be of benefit to them.

Please note that with Metaframe 1.8 there is an issue with focus when creating documents via the direct Word link – users will need to manually return to Word when producing documents.

RAID 5 should not be implemented on Metaframe/Presentation Servers running Lexis Visualfiles Corporate Counsel as the creation and updating of the users temporary progress files impacts dramatically on performance.
