POSitive Retail Manager System Requirements

POSitive Retail Manager requires a modern computing system with adequate processor speed and memory in order to run at peak efficiency. Below are the MINIMUM recommended hardware specifications. If you can exceed these specs, program performance will be better.

NOTE: We recommend a separate computer to run the SQL Server software. This may not always be possible, so be sure to meet or exceed the minimum specs for a single register.

Hardware Minimums

Scenario: Single Register running PRM and hosting the SQL Server

Modern Processor, dual-core recommended
1024 x 768 Screen resolution, 1280x1024 recommended
2 gb RAM
Microsoft SQL Express 2005 (included with installation)

Scenario: Single or Multiple Workstations running PRM and with dedicated separate SQL Server

Register(s):

Modern Processor, dual-core recommended
1024 x 768 Screen resolution, 1280x1024 recommended
1gb RAM

Server:

Modern Processor, dual-core recommended
1024 x 768 Screen resolution, 1280x1024 recommended
2gb RAM
Microsoft SQL Express 2005 (included with installation)

Scenario: Single or Multiple Workstations running PRM and with dedicated separate SQL Server, using Merge Replication with multi-store, per store

Register(s):

Modern Processor, dual-core recommended
1024 x 768 Screen resolution, 1280x1024 recommended
1gb RAM

Server:

Modern Processor, dual-core recommended
1024 x 768 Screen resolution, 1280x1024 recommended
2gb RAM
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition (additional cost)

SQL Server Software

Single store:

Low to Medium volume (1-100 transactions/day) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express
Medium to High volume (100 + transactions/day) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition

Multi-store:

Low to Medium volume (1-100 transactions/day) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition
Medium to High volume (100 + transactions/day) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition

Storage

You should consider your hard drive storage as far as capacity and speed is concerned. For maximum speed, consider 10,000 or 15,000 RPM drives, SAS drives, and striping.

BACKUP Solutions

Unlike PFW there is no auto-backup in PRM, so you must set this up separately. We have no product recommendations at this time, but whatever you use must be able to backup the SQL database and the PRM directory. You can check Microsoft’s web site for more information.

Also, consider mirroring drives.

Operating System

Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, XP Pro, Vista Business or Vista Ultimate, with all current service packs.
Microsoft "Home" operating systems are not supported.

Comments
"Just wanted to express my gratitude for Josh and Spencer and for the great help I got. It's nice to get help from a company that doesn’t try to answer by a script or acting like someone doesn’t know the software. It's good to know when I call I get real answers and immediate help."

"We would recommend POSitive to any retail location and would highly recommend that they let POSitive handle their support and daily backups. Thanks again for your great support and product!!!"

"Overall we are quite happy with PRM and it has validated our decision to go with it over Microsoft RMS and Counterpoint."
