PC CADDIE runs on all common computers. The minimum free space required is 1 gigabyte for a workstation and 8 gigabytes for a server.

• At least 4 GB RAM for PC CADDIE recommended
• 10 GB free hard disk space for PC CADDIE
• Permanent Internet connection (for Internet access and remote maintenance)
• With network connection we recommend a minimum of 100 MBit or more Gigabit LAN recommended.
• Additional VGA graphic card for possible activation of the leader-board function
• Sound Card (for results' announcements)

The server should have the following minimum configuration:

• At least 8 GB RAM for PC CADDIE recommended
• 50 GB free hard disk space (depending on the amount of data even more)
• Permanent Internet connection (for Internet access and remote maintenance)
• Please note the system requirements details, available here: Microsoft® Windows Operating systems
• PC CADDIE supports Terminal server environments (for example, Citrix)
• The installation of the SAP Advantage Database Server is necessary for more than five PC CADDIE applications (including all user + online applications) in terminal server environments

Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you always save the PC CADDIE database on a native Windows Server with a mirrored RAID array, and no NAS (Network Attached Storage). When using NAS systems, problems can arise from the different NAS operating systems and the integration of the SMB protocol. In addition, no PC CADDIE services (Service Manager, Card server or Online service) can be installed and configured on a NAS.

It is assumed that the complete installation of standard hardware is carried out by a third party or by you, after consultations. This includes, in particular, the workstations and networking, as well as the installation of a Microsoft® Windows operating system.

The following technical requirements should be discussed with your EDP supervisor:

The following technical requirements apply in order to use the PC CADDIE wireless ordering systems in gastronomy:

Windows Terminal Services: The mobile handheld terminal is connected to the network via the Windows Terminal Services using wireless LAN, which must be considered in the network design. This means, handheld devices can be used only with already existing server hardware and corresponding server software (as of 2015: Windows Server 2012 / R2). Access to the handheld devices is done is via the Remote Desktop (RDP). Using handheld devices via a normal Windows PC or a server with outdated server software is not possible without technical adjustments.

Terminal Service Clients: Each handheld device requires separate access from the Windows Server software, i.e., a Microsoft Terminal Services Client License. This license can be used as „USER CAL“ (there are more handhelds used at the same time) or „DEVICE CAL“ (each handheld has its own access).

ADS Server: The use of the mobile handheld terminal in terminal server environments requires the SAP ADS Advantage Database Server.
